Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into a historical analysis of the intricate relationship between Great Britain and the United States, particularly focusing on the issue of slavery and its role in the potential dissolution of the American Union. The author contends that the British aristocracy, motivated by self-preservation and a desire to maintain their power, actively sought to exploit the slavery issue as a means to divide the American nation. The narrative unfolds through a series of historical events and documents, including the abolition of slavery in the British West Indies and the subsequent rise of anti-slavery sentiment in both England and America. The author argues that this sentiment was not solely driven by humanitarian concerns but rather by a calculated political strategy to weaken the American Republic and prevent its rise as a rival power. Central to the book's argument is the idea that the British aristocracy viewed the success of American democracy as a threat to their own privileged position. By fueling sectional tensions and encouraging animosity between the North and South, they aimed to undermine the stability of the Union and ensure the perpetuation of their own dominance. The book's exploration of these historical machinations sheds light on the complex interplay of politics, ideology, and self-interest that shaped the course of Anglo-American relations. Ultimately, this book offers a thought-provoking examination of how external forces can exploit internal divisions for their own gain, leaving readers to ponder the enduring legacy of these historical events on the present-day world.
