Summary: "The Wars Between England and America" by Theodore Clarke Smith is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book explores the political, social, and economic tensions that led to a series of conflicts between the American colonies and Great Britain, culminating in the Revolutionary War. Smith elaborates on the evolution of ideas about governance and economic policy that contributed to the strife, making it a valuable resource for those interested in American history during the colonial era and the factors that shaped the War of Independence. The opening of the text introduces the foundational causes of animosity that arose post-1763, focusing particularly on the change in political dynamics within England and the self-governing nature of the American colonies. It explains that while England solidified its aristocratic governance, the colonies thrived under a more republican form of administration that prioritized local interests over British authority. Smith highlights the economic consequences of British mercantilist policies, the resulting dissatisfaction in the colonies, and sets the stage for escalating tensions that would ultimately lead to conflict. The narrative emphasizes the deepening divergence in political thought and social structure between the two entities, paving the way for the wars to come.
