This Vast Southern Empire: Slaveholders at the Helm of American Foreign Policy

byMatthew Karp

Matthew Karp uses This Vast Southern Empire to investigate slaveholders at the Helm of American Foreign Policy through a carefully framed historical account. By tracing causes alongside consequences, the narrative gives readers both a grounded account and a route into the wider field of history. Specific examples keep the larger argument tangible and reveal why familiar explanations do not always account for the full story. This Vast Southern Empire leaves readers with key context and a clear view of the human stakes involved.
