Description
The United States was not born in isolation. In fact, its creation was deeply influenced by British culture and history. Tom Arms explores how the US was shaped by centuries of political, social, economic, philosophical, and religious developments that preceded the arrival of the Pilgrim Fathers. The colonists who settled in America were largely from the British Isles, governed by British laws, guided by British philosophers, and driven by British economic needs. This had a profound impact on their trade patterns, future development, and even the fight for independence. The Declaration of Independence and the US constitution are filled with references to British philosophical, legal, and political ideas. The connection between Britain and America is still felt today. Understanding this complex history can provide valuable insights into both countries' pasts and present-day politics.
