Among the Powers of the Earth: The American Revolution and the Making of a New World Empire
Eliga H. Gould places American independence within an international legal order that the new republic could not ignore. The United States had to become treaty-worthy in the eyes of established powers while navigating slavery, Native sovereignty, debt, war, and diplomacy. By tracing the struggle for recognition across the Atlantic world, Gould recasts the Revolution as both a break from empire and the beginning of a new American one.
