Book Synopsis
Like merchant ships flying flags of convenience to navigate foreign waters, traders in the northern borderlands of the early American republic constantly shifted between British and American nationality. Lawrence Hatter shows how this practice undermined the United States' claim to nationhood and threatened the transcontinental imperial aspirations of US policymakers.
