Contents Description:

Hickey explains how the war promoted American nationalism and manifest destiny, stimulated peacetime defense spending, and enhanced America's reputation abroad. In a darker vein, he recalls that this war sparked bloody encounters between pro-war Republican and anti-war Federalist neighbors, dealt a crippling blow to the American Indians, and hardened Yankee hearts against all things British. - from the inside flap
