Description
America Made in Britain by Tom Arms explores a fundamental aspect of American identity: its perceived uniqueness. However, this notion is challenged by the author, who reveals that the United States was shaped by centuries-old developments in Britain. The connection between the two nations runs deep, with British laws governing the colonies, British philosophers influencing American thought, and British economic needs driving trade and commercial development. The fight for British rights and liberties also played a significant role in shaping American history, from the Declaration of Independence to the US Constitution. This book sheds new light on the 'Special Relationship' between the UK and the US, which predates the Atlantic Charter. By examining the historical ties between Britain and America, Arms provides an important corrective to the conventional narrative about the US's emergence as a distinct nation. The result is a nuanced understanding of how events in Britain continue to impact American life today, and vice versa.
