Yet far from a straightforward attempt to be free of Old World laws and customs, the American founding was also a bid for inclusion in the community of nations as it existed in 1776. America aspired to diplomatic recognition under international law and the authority to become a colonizing power itself. As Eliga Gould shows in this reappraisal of American history, the Revolution was an international transformation of the first importance. To conform to the public law of Europe's imperial powers, Americans crafted a union nearly as centralized as the one they had overthrown, endured taxes heavier than any they had faced as British colonists, and remained entangled with European Atlantic empires long after the Revolution ended. No factor weighed more heavily on Americans than the legally plural Atlantic where they hoped to build their empire. Gould follows the region's transfiguration from a fluid periphery with its own rules and norms to a place where people of all descriptions were expected to abide by the laws of Western Europe-"civilized" laws that precluded neither slavery nor the dispossession of Native Americans. 606 $aInternational relations$zUnited States 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1775-1783 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y1783-1815 607 $aUnited States$xInternational status$xHistory 607 $aUnited States$xHistory$yRevolution, 1775-1783$xInfluence 607 $aUnited States$xTerritorial expansion 615 0$aInternational relations 676 $a973.3/2 700 $aGould$b Eliga H$01532624 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910791939503321 996 $aAmong the powers of the earth$93868006 997 $aUNINA
