Summary
This panoramic study looks at almost a century of diverse American views on the relationship between the United States and the Canadian provinces by surveying commercial, intellectual, diplomatic, political, journalistic, and popular sources. Beginning after the Revolution and continuing through the CIvil War, the United States aggressively expanded to the West but left the British North American provinces to develop into an independent nation. This book covers that neglected chapter in the history of aggressive U.S. expansionism. -- Book Jacket.
