The Anglo-American Peace Movement in the Mid-Nineteenth Century (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781025277998)

"The Anglo-American Peace Movement in the Mid-Nineteenth Century" offers a comprehensive scholarly examination of the collaborative efforts between American and British pacifists during a pivotal era in international relations. This work meticulously tracks the evolution of organized peace societies, exploring the shared intellectual and religious foundations that united activists across the Atlantic. By focusing on the mid-1800s, the study highlights the period when the movement transitioned from abstract ideals to concrete political advocacy, including the promotion of international arbitration and the development of early frameworks for international law.

The text details the influential roles of key figures and organizations that sought to mitigate the threat of war through diplomacy and public education. The narrative explores how these reformers navigated the complex geopolitical landscape of the era, addressing conflicts such as the Oregon boundary dispute and the broader tensions inherent in the Victorian age. This volume serves as an essential resource for those interested in the history of social movements, Anglo-American diplomacy, and the origins of modern internationalism. It provides profound insight into the early struggles for global stability and the enduring legacy of the nineteenth-century peace crusade.
