How the United States Conquered a Continent

Clement Knox uses the history of America’s border lines as an original and fascinating way into the principal currents of American history: the origins of the Revolution, the establishment of the Constitution, the funding of the Federal government, the expansion of the Republic, the dispossession of the Native Americans, the immense and vital moral crisis over slavery. The history of these lines sometimes run parallel to one another and sometimes intersect.


Clement Knox was born in 1989. He has a B.A. in Modern History from the University of Oxford and an M.A. in International Relations and Economics from Johns Hopkins University. His book Strange Antics: A History of Seduction was published in 2020.
