Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Oration, Commemorative of American Independence: Pronounced at Salisbury, July Fourth, 1810 With diffidence I address you on an occasion the most interesting, the most noble, and sublime. The celebration of our rights, freedom, and independence outfight to warm every heart, and inflame the coldest insensibility with the sacred fire of patriotic love. The speaker solicits your attention concerning a subject, as important, as your existence, and which involves all your privileges, civil, political, and religious. On this memorable day, our delegates assembled in Congress, made a solemn declaration, that we by right, ought to be a free and independent nation. They pledged their fortunes, their lives, and their sacred honor, that they would defend their rights, protect their liberty, and preserve them inviolate to their posterity. They made this declaration, when our country afforded only a melancholy scene of ruin, distress, and blood. They supported at that time the glorious cause of liberty without finances, without system, and unaided by foreign alliance; yet the Illustrious Washington led our armies, and the Great Jehovah planted our ensign of renowned freedom.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In early 1815, Secretary of State James Monroe reviewed the treaty with Britain that would end the War of 1812. The United States Navy was blockaded in port; much of the army had not been paid for nearly a year; the capital had been burned. The treaty offered an unexpected escape from disaster. Yet it incensed Monroe, for the name of Great Britain and its negotiators consistently appeared before those of the United States. "The United States have acquired a certain rank amongst nations, which is due to their population and political importance," he brazenly scolded the British diplomat who conveyed the treaty, "and they do not stand in the same situation as at former periods." Monroe had a point, writes Troy Bickham. In The Weight of Vengeance, Bickham provides a provocative new account of America's forgotten war, underscoring its significance for both sides by placing it in global context. The Napoleonic Wars profoundly disrupted the global order, from India to Haiti to New Orleans. Spain's power slipped, allowing the United States to target the Floridas; the Haitian slave revolt contributed to the Louisiana Purchase; fears that Britain would ally with Tecumseh and disrupt the American northwest led to a pre-emptive strike on his people in 1811. This shifting balance of power provided the United States with the opportunity to challenge Britain's dominance of the Atlantic world. And it was an important conflict for Britain as well. Powerful elements in the British Empire so feared the rise of its former colonies that the British government sought to use the War of 1812 to curtail America's increasing maritime power and its aggressive territorial expansion. And by late 1814, Britain had more men under arms in North America than it had in the Peninsular War against Napoleon, with the war with America costing about as much as its huge subsidies to European allies. Troy Bickham has given us an authoritative, lucidly written global account that transforms our understanding of this pivotal war.
