Behind this simple statement lies a complicated history. From the British impressment of patriots during the Revolution to the capture of American sailors by Algerian corsairs and Barbary pirates at the dawn of the nineteenth century, stories of Americans imprisoned abroad helped jumpstart democratic debate as citizens acted on their newly unified identity to demand that their government strengthen efforts to free their fellow Americans. Deliberations about the country's vulnerabilities in the Atlantic world reveal America's commitment to protecting the legacy of the Revolution as well as growing political divisions. Drawing on newspaper accounts, prisoner narratives, and government records, David J. Dzurec III explores how stories of American captivity in North America, Europe, and Africa played a critical role in the development of American political culture, adding a new layer to our understanding of foreign relations and domestic politics in the early American republic"-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references and index. 505 0 $a "Obligations arising from the rights of humanity" : prisoners of war and American self-image in the Revolution -- "The more we are treated ill abroad" : the Continental Congress, public opinion, and American captives in Algiers, 1783-1787 -- "A speedy release to our suffering captive brethren in Algiers" : the Washington administration and the challenge of public opinion -- "Millions for defence, but not a cent for tribute" : debate and public sentiment during the Tripolitan War, 1801-1805 -- "We shall ever be prey of the jealous and monopolizing spirit of the English" : impressment and party ideology in Jefferson's second term -- "Floating hells of old England" : the prisoner debate and federalist opposition to the War of 1812 -- Mr. Madison's other war : the Dartmoor Massacre, the end of the Barbary Wars, and American self-confidence, 1815-1816 -- Conclusion: "To promote each other's welfare, and mutual feelings of peace and good will" : the insecurity bookending an era of free security. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $y 1783-1815. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140062 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1783-1809. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140415 651 0 $a United States $x Politics and government $y 1809-1817. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh85140425 650 0 $a Captivity $x History. $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Americans $z Foreign countries $x History. 650 0 $a Prisoners of war $z United States $x History. 650 0 $a Nationalism $z United States $x History. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010103138 650 0 $a Political culture $z United States $x History. $0 http://id.loc.gov/authorities/subjects/sh2010106956 650 7 $a Americans $x Foreign countries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00807504 650 7 $a Diplomatic relations. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01907412 650 7 $a Nationalism. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01033832 650 7 $a Political culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01069263 650 7 $a Politics and government. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01919741 650 7 $a Prisoners of war. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077227 651 7 $a United States. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01204155 648 7 $a 1783-1817 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 $0 http://id.worldcat.org/fast/1411628 941 $a 2 952 $l USUX851 $d 20200204022644.0 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20191217023917.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=FC7A9B2C0CF511EA99B9112E97128E48Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
