Beschreibung

In the early nineteenth century, the United States turned its idealistic gaze southward,<br>imagining a legacy of revolution and republicanism it hoped would dominate<br>the American hemisphere. From pulsing port cities to Midwestern farms<br>and southern plantations, an adolescent nation hailed Latin America's independence<br>movements as glorious tropical reprises of 1776. Even as Latin Americans were gradually<br>ending slavery, U.S. observers remained energized by the belief that their founding<br>ideals were triumphing over European tyranny among their "sister republics."<br>But as slavery became a violently divisive issue at home, goodwill toward<br>antislavery revolutionaries waned. By the nation's fiftieth anniversary, republican efforts abroad<br>had become a scaffold upon which many in the United States erected an ideology of<br>white U.S. exceptionalism that would haunt the geopolitical landscape for generations.<br>Marshaling groundbreaking research in four languages, Caitlin Fitz defines this hugely<br>significant, previously unacknowledged turning point in U.S. history.
