Abstract

"Bottom-Up Diplomatic History" by Thomas Blake Earle explores how maritime laborers, specifically commercial fishermen, influenced U.S. foreign policy decisions in the 19th century. Earle argues that fishermen and the fish themselves were key agents in shaping Anglo-American relations, often leading to conflicts and the need for new treaties. The book highlights how fishermen's demands for fishing rights off the coast of Newfoundland played a significant role in diplomatic negotiations between the United States and Great Britain. Overall, Earle's work emphasizes the impact of maritime laborers and the marine environment on U.S. diplomacy during this period. [Extracted from the article]
