Product Description
This work presents a comparative history whose broad argument is that the differences in the political cultures of Canada and the United States have their origins in changes in the governance of the British Empire in the late 17th and early 18th centuries, rather than from changes initiated at the time of the American Revolution. In an analysis of two towns, one in Nova Scotia and one in Maine, this book addresses two large historical questions. One, why have the attitudes of Americans and Canadians about the appropriate role and function of governments differed significantly, despite the similarity of being North American liberal societies and formerly parts of the British Empire? And two, how did the consolidation of power within Britain affect the basic organization of people's lives in the colonies?
Reader Reviews
Mancke takes a different approach to explaining the cultural and attitudinal differences between Canada and the United States. She took as case studies two regions, in Nova Scotia and Massachusetts, and followed them in the years 1760 to 1830. We see the governing structures imposed by British rule, along with the efforts by locals to have some self rule. There is analysis of the economies of the regions, and of their religious compositions. All these factors are shown to have differences. In the end, Mancke ties these up and attributes from their sums the main reasons for the different attitudes of Canadians and Americans towards government.
