Contents

This book is the result of six years of research and writing and is the sequel to my Caution and Cooperation: The American Civil War in British-American Relations, which The Kent State University Press published in 2008. One point that became clear as this study progressed was that the diplomats left Civil War tensions behind in order to dissolve the remaining tensions while continuing to define the wartime rapprochement. The research and the way I have structured this book are meant to show that interpretations which believe there was a serious threat of a British-American war after 1865 that would no doubt have involved Canada was, in diplomats minds, impossible. Instead, I have found that the prewar and postwar rapprochement selected the opposite path of peace through traditional and newer diplomatic methods to resolve the tensions. In this way, the contingencies that marked the unfolding of a new era, together with the continuation of the British-American peace that had become clearer as the Civil War progressed, advanced the more civilized effect of comprehensive diplomacy that took six years to define itself and the new era that it created. This era was played out for three decades after 1865 and had notably dissolved the British-American-Canadian tensions by 1912.

This book could not have taken its present form without the comments of Professors Duncan Andrew Campbell, Neils Eichhorn, and Howard Jones. They convinced me that in what would have been the last two chapters that I was indeed beginning to write about something else. Those chapters have now been omitted, and their comments were correct in clarifying the density of my writing that I could not see without their guidance. I am thankful for the insightful copyediting of Michael Levine. Professor Mary Ann Heiss, the editor of this series at Kent State University Press, was supportive in her writing that complemented the comments of my colleagues. Megan Queen Campbell offered her interest and abiding friendship while creating her own consulting company. My wife Cathy was alongside and patiently shared the frustrations and elations of authorship, and our conversations helped me with a clearer understanding of British-American-Canadian relations than I had thought about. I dedicate this book to her. Joyce Harrison, the acquiring editor at Kent State University Press, simplified the process. My thanks go out to her and the staff at the Press. But any errors and oversights are my responsibility.

I also thank Lady Jane Clarendon, Dowager Countess of Clarendon, and her son, who are the trustees of the Papers of the Fourth Earl of Clarendon held at the Bodleian Library at Oxford University. I appreciate the permission of the University of Oklahoma Press for use of a map of the San Juan Water Boundary Dispute in one of its publications.
