Summary: In the years immediately preceding the war (1803-1812), England was dominated by a faction that pledged itself not only to defeat Napoleon but also to maintain British commercial supremacy. The two main points of contention between England and America during this periodâ€” -impressment and the restrictions imposed by the Orders in Councilâ€”- were direct results of these commitments. America finally had no alternative but to oppose with force British maritime policy, which, although partly caused by jealousy of American commercial growth, stemmed in large measure from involvement in total war with France. In addition to tracing the gradual drift to war in America, Reginald Horsman shows that the Indian problem and American expansionist designs against Canada played small part in bringing about the struggle. He examines the efforts made by America to avoid conflict through means of economic coercion, efforts whose failure confronted the nation with two choices: war or submission to England. Since the latter alternative presented more terrors to the recent colonists, America went to war. [publisher's comments]; Chapters: 1. Background of the Conflict/ 2. The Threat of Invasion/ 3.

Notes: Bibliography: p. 949-983.

Summary: "This book traces the history of pacifism in America from colonial times to the start of World War I. The author describes how the immigrant peace sects -Quaker, Mennonite, and Dunker- faced the challenges of a hostile environment. The peace societies that sprang up after 1815 form the subject of the next section, with particular attention focused upon the American Peace Society and Garrison's New England Non-Resistance Society. A series of chapters on the reactions of these sects and societies to the Civil War, the neglect of pacifism in the postwar period, and the beginnings of a renewal in the years before the outbreak of war in Europe bring the book to a close. The emphasis on the institutional aspects of the movement is balanced throughout by a rich mine of accounts about the experiences of individual pacifists." [from Amazon.com]

Summary: "These are the accounts of citizens and soldiers who described Civil War events in Carroll County, Md., as they saw them during the war years a century ago. They are eye-witness accounts for the most part, by people who were there at the time and who were the very first to begin recording the history of the war. No other event in American history produced so much documentary material from so many individual sources as did the Civil War. The tremendous emotional impact of this gigantic conflict between Americans, who had lived in a state of comparatively peaceful and romantic isolation from anything so incomprehensible as an ideological war, inspired tens of thousands of both literate and illiterate soldiers and civilians to record the most minute details of their daily experiences, as though they thought posterity would never believe that mankind could produce such vast and terrible chaos"--Preface.
