Publisher's Synopsis
Published in 1815, The Second Crisis of America offers a scathing critique of the Treaty of Ghent, which ended the War of 1812. The anonymous author, later identified as Robert Fulton, argues that the treaty represents a disastrous missed opportunity for the United States to secure its position as a world power. Drawing on his experience as a diplomat and engineer, Fulton offers a unique perspective on the geopolitical and economic implications of the treaty. A fascinating read for anyone interested in early American history or foreign relations.
