Since their first publication, the four volumes of the Cambridge
History of American Foreign Relations have served as the definitive
source for the topic, from the colonial period to the Cold War.
This entirely new first volume narrates the British North American
colonists' pre-existing desire for expansion, security and
prosperity and argues that these desires are both the essence of
American foreign relations and the root cause for the creation of
the United States. They required the colonists to unite
politically, as individual colonies could not dominate North
America by themselves. Although ingrained localist sentiments
persisted, a strong, durable Union was required for mutual success,
thus American nationalism was founded on the idea of allegiance to
the Union. Continued tension between the desire for expansion and
the fragility of the Union eventually resulted in the Union's
collapse and the Civil War.
