I wish to express my appreciation here for support from the Canadian Studies Grant Program in the United States for a Senior Fellowship which helped defray the cost of research in Washington, Ottawa and London. Additional funding for my research was supplied by the All-University Research Initiation fund of Michigan State University. Throughout my career at Michigan State, the Director of the Canadian Studies Centre, Victor Howard, has been unstinting in providing support and encouragement. At a critical stage in the writing of this book, I received trenchant but constructive commentary from Jack Granatstein of York University which helped clarify my thinking. Professor Robin Winks of Yale University provided insightful observations with respect to the general approach of the manuscript. I would like to acknowledge here the support of Jeffrey Simpson, the national political correspondent of the Globe and Mail, who provided such a generous reception to my work on the origins of Canadian politics and thereby encouraged me to think that there was some place for outsiders to write on Canadian topics. Finally, while I would not wish another book to be condemned by the company it keeps, The American Response to China by my friend and former colleague Warren Cohen (now at the University of Maryland) was the model for this study.

A Note on Terminology
The term "Canada" is used throughout this book even though the Dominion of Canada was established only in 1867. From 1608 to 1760, Canada was a French colony. Following the conquest by Britain in the Seven Years' War and the migration of English speaking settlers (most of them loyalists fleeing the American revolution) into the region west of the Ottawa River in the 1780s, the old French colony of Quebec was divided in 1791 into two separate coloniesUpper Canada (corresponding to modern southern Ontario) and Lower Canada (corresponding to modern Quebec). Between 1841 and 1867, Upper Canada and Lower Canada were rejoined to form the Union of the Canadas. These colonies along with the maritime British possessions of Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island were collectively referred to by contemporaries as British North America. With the exception of Prince Edward Island, they came together to form the Canadian Confederation in 1867. By 1873, the new Confederation included Prince Edward Island, British Columbia, Manitoba, and the vast northwest territories previously held by the Hudson's Bay Company. Canada now stretched from the Atlantic to the Pacific and was the largest settlement colony in the Victorian empire. Newfoundland remained a distinct British colony until becoming a Province of Canada in 1949. Where it is necessary to make sense of the evidence, the specific entities in this array of colonies are singled out, but in general the usage "Canada" has been adopted to make for easier reading.
