"Greater Greece and Greater Britain; and, George Washington, the Expander of England" by Edward A. Freeman is a historical account written in the late 19th century. The work presents two separate lectures that explore the concepts of colonialism and political identity through the parallels between ancient Greece and Britain, particularly in the context of their respective expansions and cultural impacts. The first lecture focuses on the historical significance of Greater Greece, particularly its colonies, while the second lecture celebrates George Washington's role in shaping a new identity for the English-speaking people in America, contrasting it with the earlier colonial ties. The opening of this work introduces the author's reflections on the meanings of "Greater Greece" and "Greater Britain." Freeman explores the historical roots of these terms, emphasizing the interactions and cultural exchanges that occurred as a result of colonization. He highlights the differences between the citizen-based colonies of ancient Greece and the subject-based expansions of modern Britain, underscoring how both societies maintained connections to their respective motherlands despite political separations. Through this analysis, Freeman sets the stage for a deeper examination of political allegiance, identity, and the legacy of historical figures like George Washington, all of which he juxtaposes with the political configurations of ancient city-states.
