ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Years ago, Edward Crapol’s courses in American foreign relations—and specifically, his interest in American empire—inspired me to explore this field, and I am grateful to have been able to study it under his guidance. His patience, good humor, and unfailing encouragement of me in my research and my career have been invaluable. Chandos Brown’s suggestions and enthusiasm for this study as a contribution to American cultural history have enriched it, as have the suggestions of James McCord, who offered repeated close readings and valuable insights into the British empire. This study was further strengthened by the suggestions of Kinley Brauer, who brought his expertise in American expansion during the Middle Period to this project. Parts of this dissertation also benefited from the comments of the members of William and Maiy’s dissertation discussion group and participants at the annual meetings of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations. The staff of William and Mary’s Swem Library—especially Sheila Brown, Don Welsh, and Alan Zoellner—have been quite helpful. I also appreciate the assistance of John Jovanovic at Virginia Commonwealth University and staff at the University of Pennsylvania, the National Archives, the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Library, Harvard Business School, and the Massachusetts Historical Society. The support and encouragement of my friends and family have sustained me throughout this project. Special thanks go to Valerie DeBrava, Louise Hutchinson, Miranda Jones, Elsa Nettels, Elizabeth Niemeyer, Ericka Thoms, and Catharyn Turner II. And the most special thanks go to my family. Courtney Gray has been an excellent big sister, encouraging me throughout this project and providing much-needed distractions with phone calls and vacations. And as always, my parents, Bill and Peggy Gray, have encouraged my pursuits with their love, support, care packages, and enthusiasm for my progress. For all these, I am truly grateful. v Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

It addresses the debate of whether the United States’s acquisition of an empire in the 1890s was the result of focused determination or was, as many historians have characterized it, an accidental acquisition by a people long opposed to empire. This study also explores the benefits of incorporating American culture and society into the study of American imperialism. The years between the War of 1812 and the Civil War connect the time when Americans re-established their independence from Great Britain to the eve of the Civil War, which solved the sectional crisis and thus put the nation in a position to pursue overseas expansion unimpeded. This was also a time of great change in the United States. New Protestant denominations were challenging the church’s authority. Industrialization was making workplaces more hierarchical and consequently causing greater awareness of class. And a print revolution was bringing many more Americans into the reading public, thus causing the era’s readings to represent a much broader range of opinions than those of a generation before. During the era under review, Americans repeatedly wrote long articles about the British empire, which indicates the great interest that the topic held for them. This study addresses British imperial episodes in Hawaii, China, South Africa, Nicaragua, and India. Quite often, Americans’ domestic concerns—whether they involved, for example, specific religious views, attitudes toward war, or thoughts on slavery— strongly influenced their attitudes toward foreign events. Such leverage was facilitated by the often sketchy nature of accounts from abroad, which enabled writers to accept certain accounts while doubting others. The variety of American experiences partly accounts for the variety of American attitudes toward British imperialism. Many praised the British for spreading Protestant Christianity, a rigorous work ethic, and British governance, and for bringing new populations into international trade as producers and consumers. And they accepted the means to these ends, such as high mortality among natives and British suppression of native insurrections. Often, they accepted native suffering as part of God’s plan. Others, meanwhile, lambasted the British for introducing diseases, weapons, and alcohol that decimated native populations, and for reaping profits by exploiting natives. These Americans dismissed the notion that God approved of all that happened. Almost all Americans agreed that the British imperial system was flawed, but few concluded that imperialism was inherently wrong or unworkable. Although most maintained that the United States did not need to acquire a territorial empire of their own—regarding such expansion as cumbersome and unnecessary—they believed that a commercial American empire could benefit all parties involved. This vision resembles the commercial expansion that the United States had begun to pursue in this era and that would find its greatest realization after the Civil War. vi Reproduced with permission of the copyright owner.

INTRODUCTION This study explores American attitudes toward British imperialism between 1815 and 1860 to determine what Americans’ opinions of imperialism were before the United States became an imperial power, and why they held those beliefs. With such a focus, this study will address the debate of whether the United States’s acquisition of an empire later in that century was the result of focused determination or was, as traditionalist historians have characterized it, a temporary departure by a people that long opposed imperialism.

  • Anglo-Indian Identity, Knowledge, and Power
    Anglo-Indian Identity, Knowledge, and Power Western Ballroom Music in Lucknow Bradley Shope Beginning in the first half of the 20th century, Western ballroom and dance music began to make its way into Lucknow in Uttar Pradesh, as well as other cities in North India. It was imported via gramophone disks, radio broadcasts, and sheet music coming from Europe and America. In the 1930s, an increasing number of dance halls, railway social institutes, auditoriums, and cafe´s were built to cater to a growing number of British and Americans in India, satisfying their nostalgia for the live performance of the foxtrot, the tango, the waltz, the rumba, big-band music, and Dixieland. Influenced by sound and broadcast technology, sheet music, instrument availability, the railway system, and con- vent schools teaching music, an appreciation for these styles of music was found in other communities. Especially involved were Portuguese Goans and Anglo-Indians, defined here as those of European and Indian descent who were born and raised in India.1 For these two groups, it served to assert their identities as distinct from other South Asians and highlighted that their taste for music reached beyond the geographical boundaries of India. Numerous types of media, institutions, and venues contributed to this vibrant Western music performance culture in Lucknow in the early 20th century. James Perry, an elderly Goan musician, and Mr. John Sebastian and Mr. Jonathan Taylor,2 two elderly Anglo-Indian ex-railway workers, were involved in its perfor- mance and appreciation.3 By drawing from multiple field interviews in North India conducted with these individuals between 1999 and 2001, and by de- scribing the character of the performance culture, I will highlight the role of music in creating socioeconomic mobility and a distinct identity among Anglo-Indians in Lucknow, and address issues of power relations and coloni- alism with reference to the consumption of the music.

  • 'Deprived of Their Liberty'
    'DEPRIVED OF THEIR LIBERTY': ENEMY PRISONERS AND THE CULTURE OF WAR IN REVOLUTIONARY AMERICA, 1775-1783 by Trenton Cole Jones A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June, 2014 © 2014 Trenton Cole Jones All Rights Reserved Abstract Deprived of Their Liberty explores Americans' changing conceptions of legitimate wartime violence by analyzing how the revolutionaries treated their captured enemies, and by asking what their treatment can tell us about the American Revolution more broadly. I suggest that at the commencement of conflict, the revolutionary leadership sought to contain the violence of war according to the prevailing customs of warfare in Europe. These rules of war—or to phrase it differently, the cultural norms of war— emphasized restricting the violence of war to the battlefield and treating enemy prisoners humanely. Only six years later, however, captured British soldiers and seamen, as well as civilian loyalists, languished on board noisome prison ships in Massachusetts and New York, in the lead mines of Connecticut, the jails of Pennsylvania, and the camps of Virginia and Maryland, where they were deprived of their liberty and often their lives by the very government purporting to defend those inalienable rights. My dissertation explores this curious, and heretofore largely unrecognized, transformation in the revolutionaries' conduct of war by looking at the experience of captivity in American hands. Throughout the dissertation, I suggest three principal factors to account for the escalation of violence during the war. From the onset of hostilities, the revolutionaries encountered an obstinate enemy that denied them the status of legitimate combatants, labeling them as rebels and traitors.

A NOTE OF EXPLANATION The title of this paper promises more than I have it in my power to fulfil. It has seemed best, therefore, to begin with a brief explanatory statement. An investigation of the international financial and economic relations of China is now being carried on. It will extend over a number of years, in­ cludes a visit to China on my part, and is planned to cover the whole of a wide and difficult subject. In the work of this investigation it has fallen to me to deal with American investments in China. After a brief survey of the situation the conclusion was forced upon me that I would be obliged to undertake a new and inde­ pendent study. A considerable amount of work has been done on this new study, but it is impossible to say whether it will be successfully completed, since its success depends, in large measure, upon its inclusiveness.

There has been a historical assumption that, starting with the hostilities in 1931, the Japanese were maligned in American public opinion. Consequently, the assumption has been made that Americans supported the Chinese without reserve during their conflict with Japan in the 1930s.
