摘要

任何跳到本书中间去研究一个特定群体或个体的读者都应该意识到,本书以一种不同寻常的方式使用了两组关键术语。政党和派系总是穿着18世纪的服装出现在这些书页上;也就是说,他们指的是那些松散的个人群体,他们因为在一个或多个问题上的相似观点而走到一起。这些团体只是偶尔被20世纪与“党”联系在一起的正式组织结构所加强。对于理解这本书来说,更重要的是扩张主义、扩张主义者和非扩张主义者这三个词。在这本书中,扩张主义是一种发自内心的信念,即美国能够而且应该追求伟大。托马斯·杰斐逊在《独立宣言》的初稿中论述了这种世界观。在谈到英国和美国之间的关系时,他说:“我们本来可以共同成为一个自由而伟大的民族;但是,一种宏大和自由的交流似乎有失他们的尊严。既然他们愿意,就这样吧;通往光荣和幸福的道路也向我们敞开;我们将以另一种状态爬上它,并默许这一必然性,宣告我们永远的告别。”扩张主义者是那些持有这种观点并积极致力于促进新世界崛起的上层社会人士。相反,非扩张主义者是富裕阶层

A NOTE ON DEFINITIONS
Any reader who jumps to the middle of this book to examine a particular colony or individual should be aware that two crucial sets of terms are used throughout this work in an unusual way. Party and faction always appear in these pages in eighteenth-century dress; that is, they refer to those loose congeries of individuals who came together because of similar views on one or more issues. Only occasionally were these groups reinforced by the formal organizational structures that the twentieth century associates with "party." Still more important for an understanding of this book are the words expansionism, expansionist, and nonexpansionist. Expansionism, as used in this work, is the heartfelt conviction that America could and should aspire to greatness. Thomas Jefferson discoursed on this world view in the first drafts of the Declaration of Independence. Referring to the ties between Britain and the United States, he observed: "We might have been a free and a great people together; but a communication of grandeur and of freedom it seems is below their dignity. Be it so, since they will have it; the road to glory and happiness is open to us too; we will climb it in a separate state, and acquiesce in the necessity which pronounces our everlasting Adieu." 1 Expansionists were those upper-class individuals who held such an outlook and who were actively committed to promoting the rise of the New World. Nonexpansionists, by contrast, were the well-to-do
