This chapter shows that how William Cobbett was fascinated by the political and economic development of the United States of America in the early decades of its existence. Cobbett pointed out that French maritime aggressions against American vessels were on a much greater scale than those of Britain. To ally with Britain surely would be better strategy for America to drive both the French and the Spanish out of North America, South America and the West Indies. Cobbett changed his mind regarding the United States and adopted a much more friendly attitude as he stiffened towards the British state. He suggested that an Anglo-American economic war would cripple the United States but barely draw any attention in Britain. The war against France ought to be understood as a battle between liberty and tyranny, and Britain was foolish not to do everything possible to enlist the United States on the side of liberty.
