Overview

The Creation of a Republican Empire traces American foreign relations from
the colonial era to the end of the Civil War, paying particular attention not
only to the diplomatic controversies of the era but also to the origins and
development of American thought regarding international relations. The primary
purpose of the book is to describe and explain, in the diplomatic context, the
process by which the United States was born, transformed into a republican
nation, and extended into a continental empire. Central to the story are the
events surrounding the American Revolution, the Constitutional Convention, the
impact on the United States of the European wars touched off by the French
Revolution, the Monroe Doctrine, the expansionism of the 1840s, and the ordeal
of the Civil War.
