Description
"[A]n ambitious book...Cultivating Empire connects the United States’ civilizing mission among Shawnees and Miamis to the development of capitalism in those nations’ homelands in what is now western Ohio and Indiana...[This volume] is not the last word on the subjects it tackles, nor should it be. Daggar’s work opens doors, and historians of the early republic, of Indian policy, and of capitalism should read it."

"In Cultivating Empire, Lori Daggar illuminates the intertwined histories of missions, settler colonialism, and Indigenous survivance in the Northwest Territory. It is a deeply researched and carefully argued book that provides new insights into the early United States’ careful attempts to position itself as a ‘benevolent empire.’ Sure to become the standard text on the ‘civilization plan,’ Cultivating Empire is a must-read for anyone interested in the history of American imperialism."
