Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Wars Between England and America The purpose of this volume is to Show how social, economic and political causes led to a period of almost continuous antagonism between England and the American com munities from 1763 to the ratification of the Treaty of Ghent in 1815. The war of Ameri can Independence, 1775 - 1783, and the war of 1812 - 1815 give their names to the book, not because of their military or naval im portance, but because they mark, in each case, the outcome of successive years of un availing efforts on the part of each country to avoid bloodshed. With this aim in view, no more detailed study of the internal po litical history or institutions of either country can be included than is necessary to account for different political habits, nor can the events of diplomatic history be developed beyond What is called for to explain persist.
