Sumario:"Drawing on the unused archives of London banks and the papers of statesmen on both sides of the Atlantic, Jay Sexton illuminates our understanding of mid-nineteenth-century American foreign relations by highlighting how financial considerations influenced the formation of foreign policy and functioned as a peace factor in Anglo-American relations. Sexton also analyses a crucial, but ignored, dimension of the Civil War - the efforts of the North and the South to attract the support of British and European financiers."--
