Reviews
Made in Britain is a deeply researched, analytically rich, and highly original contribution to our understanding of economic, political, and social relationships cultivated by Americans in Great Britain during the nineteenth-century. . . . I cannot recommend it strongly enough., Stephen Tuffnell's Made in Britain is a thorough, original and engaging account of the part played by American expats in the creation of transatlantic diplomacy in post-independence 19th-century Britain. The book--peppered with specific case studies, useful statistics and factual analyses, as well as compelling anecdotes--is both an enjoyable and instructive read., Not only will students and scholars of British history profit by reading this book, but readers with general intellectual interests will likely become fascinated with both the specific topics Stansky discusses and the workings of a distinguished historian's lively approach to his subject., Made in Britain valuably contributes to the historiography of American foreign relations, the Civil War, and capitalism. Concise and well organized, this book encourages the study of a more global emigrant history because, as Tuffnell correctly suggests, 'it took the world to produce the nation'.

Synopsis
The United States was made in Britain. For over a hundred years following independence, a diverse and lively crowd of emigrant Americans left the United States for Britain. From Liverpool and London, they produced Atlantic capitalism and managed transfers of goods, culture, and capital that were integral to US nation-building. In British social clubs, emigrants forged relationships with elite Britons that were essential not only to tranquil transatlantic connections, but also to fighting southern slavery. As the United States descended into Civil War, emigrant Americans decisively shaped the Atlantic-wide battle for public opinion. Equally revered as informal ambassadors and feared as anti-republican contagions, these emigrants raised troubling questions about the relationship between nationhood, nationality, and foreign connection. Blending the histories of foreign relations, capitalism, nation-formation, and transnational connection, Stephen Tuffnell compellingly demonstrates that the United States' struggle toward independent nationhood was entangled at every step with the world's most powerful empire of the time. With deep research and vivid detail, Made in Britain uncovers this hidden story and presents a bold new perspective on nineteenth-century trans-Atlantic relations.
