The Dublin Journal on Anglo American Enmity and Empire
The author argues that fraternal enmity has long afflicted nations and extends to Great Britain and the United States as they clash over colonization and influence. He compares ancient colonial foundations to modern colonies and cautions about America’s ambitions in the Mediterranean, Naples, and geopolitics, while noting Britain’s strategic sea power and imperial reach. The piece reflects on liberty, moderation, and the shifting balance of power between Britain and America. Dublin, October 28, 1816.
