The Wars Between England and America

This volume examines the period from 1763 to 1815 and how social, economic, and political factors led to continuous conflict between England and American communities. The book focuses on the wars of American Independence and 1812, not for their military significance, but because they marked the outcome of years of failed attempts to prevent war. The author does not delve deeply into the internal political histories or institutions of either country, but instead examines the persistent lines of action and significant treaties that contributed to the end of the antagonism. Overall, the book seeks to explain the causes and resolution of the conflict between England and America during this time period.
