Description
The us and Great Britain: Diplomatic Family members 1775-1815 provides seven thousand pages of number one documents, written by up to date diplomats, charting the emergence of an independent The us. This collection is made of the diplomatic and official correspondence between The us and Britain and gives an bizarre insight into the shaping of a nation, from The us being known as ‘our Colonies and Plantations in North The us’ by the King, to its recognition as the ‘United States’ by Britain in 1782. The correspondence is shaped of diplomatic letters between the British Government and American officials including Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, James Madison, John Jay and John Hancock. The gathering begins with a résumé of events centred around American protests over taxation, follows the course of the War of Independence, and concludes, after ratification of the Treaty of Ghent in February 1815, with the restoration of ordinary diplomatic Family members.
