With a merchant marine that competed against Britain for commercial supremacy and a whaling fleet that circled the globe, the United States sought a maritime empire to complement its territorial ambitions in North America. In With Sails Whitening Every Sea, Brian Rouleau argues that because of their ubiquity in foreign ports, American sailors were the principal agents of overseas foreign relations in the early republic. Their everyday encounters and more problematic interactions-barroom brawling, sexual escapades in port-city bordellos, and the performance of blackface minstrel shows-shaped how the United States was perceived overseas. Rouleau details both the mariners' "working-class diplomacy" and the anxieties such interactions inspired among federal authorities and missionary communities, who saw the behavior of American sailors as mere debauchery. Indiscriminate violence and licentious conduct, they feared, threatened both mercantile profit margins and the nation's reputation overseas. As Rouleau chronicles, the world's oceans and seaport spaces soon became a battleground over the terms by which American citizens would introduce themselves to the world. But by the end of the Civil War, seamen were no longer the nation's principal ambassadors. Hordes of wealthy tourists had replaced seafarers, and those privileged travelers moved through a world characterized by consolidated state and corporate authority. Expanding nineteenth-century America's master narrative beyond the water's edge, With Sails Whitening Every Sea reveals the maritime networks that bound the Early Republic to the wider world. 410 0$aUnited States in the world. 606 $aSailors$zUnited States$xSocial conditions$y19th century 606 $aSea-power$zUnited States$xHistory$y19th century 607 $aUnited States$xForeign relations$y19th century 615 0$aSailors$xSocial conditions 615 0$aSea-power$xHistory 676 $a331.7/61387097309034 700 $aRouleau$b Brian$01718813 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910808588603321 996 $aWith sails whitening every sea$94116075 997 $aUNINA LEADER 02337nas 2200661-a 450 001 9911035169103321 005 20240911213022.0 035 $a(CKB)110978984250440 035 $a(CONSER)---93642877- 035 $a(EXLCZ)99110978984250440 100 $a19930601a19939999 --- a 101 0 $aeng 181 $ctxt$2rdacontent 182 $cc$2rdamedia 183 $acr$2rdacarrier 200 00$aEast African journal of peace & human rights 210 1$aKampala, Uganda :$cMakerere University, Human Rights and Peace Centre,$d1993- 215 $a1 online resource 300 $aRefereed/Peer-reviewed 300 $aTitle from cover. 311 08$aPrint version: East African journal of peace & human rights. 1021-8858 (DLC) 93642877 (OCoLC)28188312 320 $aIncludes bibliographical references. 517 3 $aEast African journal of peace and human rights 531 $aEAST AFRICAN JOURNAL OF PEACE AND HUMAN RIGHTS 531 0 $aEast Afr. j. peace hum. rights 606 $aHuman rights$zAfrica$vPeriodicals 606 $aInternational law$zAfrica$vPeriodicals 606 $aPeace$vPeriodicals 606 $aHuman rights$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00963285 606 $aInternational law$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst00976984 606 $aPeace$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01055758 606 $aPolitics and government$2fast$3(OCoLC)fst01919741 606 $aHuman rights$2homoit$3https://homosaurus.org/v3/homoit0000652 606 $aHuman rights$vPeriodicals$2nli 606 $aCivil rights$vPeriodicals$2nli 606 $aInternational law$vPeriodicals$2nli 607 $aAfrica$xPolitics and government$vPeriodicals 607 $aAfrica$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2fast 608 $aPeriodicals.$2lcgft 615 0$aHuman rights 615 0$aInternational law 615 0$aPeace 615 7$aHuman rights. 615 7$aInternational law. 615 7$aPeace. 615 7$aPolitics and government. 615 7$aHuman rights. 615 7$aHuman rights 615 7$aCivil rights 615 7$aInternational law 676 $a341.4/81 712 02$aMakerere University.$bHuman Rights and Peace Centre. 906 $aJOURNAL 912 $a9911035169103321 920 $aexl_impl conversion 996 $aEast African journal of peace & human rights$94450219 997 $aUNINA
