Scott Kaufman examines the events and particular significance of the 'Pig War', centred on the Pacific Northwest in the mid-19th century - a contest of colonial rivalry which lasted well over two decades and helped define both the emerging power of the United States and its relationship with the British Empire.
Very few people have heard of the ''Pig War,'' since this episode in American history was overshadowed by the U.S. Civil War and the beginning of mass immigration from Europe. Yet this diplomatic conflict between the United States and Great Britain, resulting from the shooting of a single pig, lasted more than twenty years, and greatly impacted the relationship between the two nations. Scott Kaufman carefully examines, and places into both an American and an international context, the origins and the resolution of this tense stand-off over contested colonial territory. This history sheds new light on the emergence of the United States as an international superpower.
