Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from England and America After Independence a Short Examination of Their International Intercourse, 1783-1872 When this study was undertaken, there was little idea in the mind of the author whereunto the thing would grow. It is well known that a mysterious ignorance broods over the British mind concerning our relations with America during the past century. No history of the period has ever attempted to deal in earnest with the question. Either from fear of offending national susceptibility, or on account of party shackles (and shackles indeed they are), few persons have ever dared openly to assert the case for Great Britain as it is done in these pages. It has become The Case of Great Britain for the following reason: As the study proceeded, it seemed overwhelmingly clear that the conduct of the successive governments of Great Britain was uniformly equitable, candid, and conciliatory. The writer was thus unwittingly become in some sense an advocate, whose plea was the justifying of English dealings with America, and whose tendered proofs shewed that every effort had been made to deserve well of that country. And, in truth, it is difficult to find a wilfully unfair or unkind act toward the United States, performed by any British government since the Separation. Several years have passed since the book was first written, and many things have happened. Not the least is the movement of latter days toward an Alliance, arising partly from better international sentiment than was used to prevail.
