Description
Summary:This essay examines how William H. Seward adapted the imperial vision and policies of the United States in light of the steam revolution of the mid-nineteenth century.

But what they have not appropriately emphasized is how his legacy lay less in continuity with his predecessors and successors, than in how he sought to reconfigure U. S. policy in relation to one of the revolutionary developments of his time - the emergence of steam transport.
