Description
The United States was forged in Britain. For over a century, a diverse group of emigrant Americans left their homeland for Britain, playing a significant role in shaping US nation-building. In British social clubs, they formed relationships with elite Britons that helped to establish tranquil transatlantic connections and even influenced the fight against southern slavery. As the United States descended into Civil War, these emigrants significantly impacted the Atlantic-wide battle for public opinion. Their actions raised important questions about the relationship between nationhood, nationality, and foreign connection. This book provides a fresh perspective on nineteenth-century trans-Atlantic relations by exploring the complex connections between US nation-building and the world's most powerful empire of the time. Stephen Tuffnell's in-depth research sheds new light on this often-overlooked period in history, revealing the intricate web of relationships that existed between Britain and America during this time.
