Hope this helps
Step-by-step explanation:
Years ago, Edward Crab's courses in American foreign relations—and
specifically, his interest in American empire—inspired me to explore this field, and I
am grateful to have been able to study it under his guidance. His patience, good
humor, and unfailing encouragement of me in my research and my career have been
invaluable. Chandon Brown’s suggestions and enthusiasm for this study as a
contribution to American cultural history have enriched it, as have the suggestions of
James Accord, who offered repeated close readings and valuable insights into the
British empire. This study was further strengthened by the suggestions of Kinsey
Braver, who brought his expertise in American expansion during the Middle Period to
this project. Parts of this dissertation also benefited from the comments of the
members of William and Mai's dissertation discussion group and participants at the
annual meetings of the Society for Historians of American Foreign Relations.
The staff of William and Mary’s Swed Library—especially Sheila Brown,
Don Welsh, and Alan Zollverein—have been quite helpful.
