ABSTRACT: Fourth Edition. The territory of the United States has undergone many changes subsequently to the formation of the republic; all of them, however, tending to its enlargement. At the close of the war which established their independence, it was the wish of many, both among the French and the English, to limit them to the possession of the Atlantic coast, and "to coop them up," as some of their own writers have termed it, within the moutain chains which run nearly in a parallel direction with it, at a distance, for the most part, of several hundred miles. The endeavours of the American negotiators prevented such a result, and obtained the river Mississippi as the western boundary. NOTE: This is not the entire volume.
