Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from American Commerce, Its Expansion: A Collection of Addresses and Pamphlets Relating to the Extension of Foreign Markets for American Manufactures
When the United States set up in business in 1789, they were small in numbers, popula tion, and area, confined to the Atlantic slope. It is true they all claimed dominion to the great ocean on the west, but that claim was disputed, and successfully, too, for many years.
