Between Empire and Republic: America in the Colonial Canadian Imagination - Hardcover

by Oana Godeanu-Kenworthy (Author)

This book uses literature to explain why pre-Confederation Canadians did not want to become Americans. The author argues that the perceived cultural distinctions between 19th-century American and colonial Canadian societies echoed public attitudes towards the political systems of the US and the British Empire, and the ideologies that shaped them.
