Surveyors of Empire
British imperial power was greatly bolstered by new techniques in surveying and map-making during the eighteenth century. Well before James Cook sailed for the Pacific in 1768, British army engineers working on the coastline from Quebec to Rhode Island had set new scientific standards for cartography that would assist the British in mapping future conquests.

In Armageddon's Shadow
The United States had important ties with Canada's Maritime Provinces that were profoundly shaken by the American Civil War.
