I would suggest that in the section on Britain and the U.S. Civil War that Profs. Cowen and Taylor underplayed the importance of cotton (American) to the British industrial mercantile base. That Europe. the U.S. and other parts of the world were switching quickly from wool clothes to cotton based which made life tremendously easier to all levels of society. Otherwise an interesting overview of the Americas.
Interesting to listen to a brief outine of Canadian history…
