The special relationship between the United Kingdom, an established and secure power, and the United States, a rising one, began after the War of 1812, as the former enemies sought accommodation with, rather than the annihilation of, one another. At the same time, Mexico, also a rising power, was not so fortunate. Its relationship with Spain, an established but declining power, turned hostile with Spain’s final exit from North America after Mexico’s War of Independence, leaving its former colony isolated, internally unstable, and vulnerable to external attack. Significantly, Mexico posed little threat to its northern neighbor. By the third decade of the eighteenth century, then, the fate of North America was largely discernable. Nevertheless, the three-century journey to get to this point had been anything but predictable. The United States’ rise as a regional power was very much conditioned by constantly shifting transcontinental, transpacific, and above all transatlantic factors, all of which influenced North America’s three interactive cultural spheres: the Indigenous, the Hispano, and the Anglo. And while the United States profoundly shaped the history of Canada and Mexico, so, too, did these two transcontinental countries likewise shape the course of U.S. history. In this ground-breaking work, Kevin Fernlund shows us that any society’s social development is directly related to its own social power and, just as crucially, to the protective extension or destructive intrusion of the social power of other societies.

When we think of North American colonies, images of Pilgrims and Thanksgiving come to mind. Would you be surprised to learn there were other colonies long before those famous "thirteen"? Before anyone landed on the shores of Plymouth Bay, the colony of New France was alive and well. It stretched from the Atlantic Ocean north of Maine west to the Great Lakes, and later south to the Gulf of Mexico. The French had come seeking a western route to Asia. New York City is famous as a worldwide center of trade. Its buisinesslike roots reach back to 1624, when the governor of a Dutch colony bought Manhattan Island from local Indians. The Dutch built a trading post there called New Amsterdam. It was the headquarters of the New Netherland colony. The log cabin is the symbol of frontier life. Hardy pioneers built these homes across the American west. But if not for the colonists of New Sweden, the log cabin may never have existed in North America. Check inside for more details on North America's little-known colonies, their lasting contributions, and why their names have changed through time.

Excerpt from The History of North America It has been the constant aim of the author to preserve a careful impartiality in dealing with matters of difference of view, and to give no judgment for which he has not been able to offer a sanctioning fact for its source. The men of those times were, like the men of the present, serious and in the main sincere, and faced complex problems for whose solutions they could not furnish the needed wisdom. The new day which Jefferson introduced, and to which Madison fell heir, was indeed unique. While it grew out of the old and was organically part of the early life of the nation, it was very properly regarded by many as in a true sense another era. The story of the period might well be entitled: How democracy interpreted nationality. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from The History of the United States of North America, Vol. 3: From the Discovery of the Western World to the Present Day Irrespective of all the casus belli, which, (as it evermore happens,) when the quarrel was determined upon, were sure to be found only too abundantly, there was, as we have seen, a real and deep necessity for this trial of strength to with Great Britain. And when we have reached the conclusion of this Book, we shall be in a position to see precisely why a war, apparently so indecisive, should suffice for the conclusion of a peace which has now lasted for forty years, and bids fair to last as many more. But in entering upon this narrative, we must observe, that this "Second War," (as it has been called,) in relation to World History bears by no means so prominent a place as we might suppose, from seeing the account that is made of it in the United States. And the reason manifestly is, that the principles, to maintain which, ostensibly, America flung down her gage, were not the real grounds of the conflict. They bore no nearer relation to the actual combat, than the question "whose lady's eyes were the brightest," which was - so say the chronicles of chivalry - the avowed reason for mortal encounter between every two doughty and errant knights, who chanced to meet, after having sallied forth for the very purpose of achieving some notable adventure in arms. Of the part in this war which Jefferson took, we have spoken in the chapter upon the Foreign Affairs of his Administration; and we think that few can trace carefully the line of policy which he adopted, without ascribing it mainly to him; although the party opposed to it gave it the title of "Madison's war." How adroitly the great Democratic chieftain contrived, without implicating himself in the responsibility of conducting them, to make hostilities unavoidable, has been fully shown.

An illuminating history of North America's eleven rival cultural regions that explodes the red state-blue state myth. North America was settled by people with distinct religious, political, and ethnographic characteristics, creating regional cultures that have been at odds with one another ever since. Subsequent immigrants didn't confront or assimilate into an “American” or “Canadian” culture, but rather into one of the eleven distinct regional ones that spread over the continent each staking out mutually exclusive territory. In American Nations, Colin Woodard leads us on a journey through the history of our fractured continent, and the rivalries and alliances between its component nations, which conform to neither state nor international boundaries. He illustrates and explains why “American” values vary sharply from one region to another. Woodard (author of American Character: A History of the Epic Struggle Between Individual Liberty and the Common Good) reveals how intranational differences have played a pivotal role at every point in the continent's history, from the American Revolution and the Civil War to the tumultuous sixties and the "blue county/red county" maps of recent presidential elections. American Nations is a revolutionary and revelatory take on America's myriad identities and how the conflicts between them have shaped our past and are molding our future.
