PhD Thesis: Episode 3.1 (Patreon)

[PATRONS]

Having finished up the second chapter on the nature of insult, here in Chapter Three we look at a period which may be more familiar - Anglo-American relations 1838-46. We have covered this period before for our Diplomacy: Britain vs America series, but here we engage in much deeper analysis of the rhetoric of national honour and its considerable role in complicating the relations between these two states. McLeod, the Caroline, and the negotiations over the Maine-Canada boundary all feature, while the national honour of each power was pushed anxiously to the forefront. It almost makes you wonder how peace was maintained at all! Thanksss so much for your interest in and support for this series history, it means the world!
