“Studded with surprises, this important book shows how Canada shaped the early United States—sometimes as a friend, more often as a foe or foil. Lennox is an expert storyteller.”—Caitlin Fitz, author of Our Sister Republics

“Jeffers Lennox makes a significant contribution to the general understanding of how the thirteen colonies achieved independence and national definition.”—Richard D. Brown, author of Self-Evident Truths

“North of America is much needed integration of the role and relationship of Canada to the United States in both the American Revolution and the period of the Early Republic.
