The U.S.-Mexico War (1846-1848) brought two centuries of dramatic
territorial expansionism to a close, and apparently fulfilled
America's Manifest Destiny. Or did it? Even as politicians schemed
to annex new lands in Latin America and the Pacific, other
Americans aggressively pursued expansionism independently. In fact,
an epidemic of unsanctioned attacks by private American mercenaries
(known as filibusters) occurred between 1848 and 1860 throughout
the Western Hemisphere. This book documents the potency of Manifest
Destiny in the antebellum era, and analyzes imperial lust in the
context of the social and economic transformations that were
changing the definition of gender in the U.S. Amy S. Greenberg is
Associate Professor of History and Women's Studies at Pennsylvania
State University. She is also the author of Cause for Alarm: The
Volunteer Fire Department in the Nineteenth-Century City
(Princeton, 1998). She has served on the governing boards of the
Urban History Association, and the Society for Historians of the
Early American Republic, and on the editorial board of Journal of
Urban History. She is the recipient of the Pennsylvania State
University George Atherton Award for Excellence in Teaching, as
well as numerous fellowships.
