Abstract

The essay considers differences between citizenship and subjecthood by focusing on British impressment of American sailors during the French Revolution and Napoleonic Wars between 1793 and 1815. Some of the subjects considered include the political tracts "Common Sense" and "Rights of Man" by Thomas Paine; the impressment experiences of mariner Samuel Dalton of Salem, Massachusetts; forced migrations; and the British Empire during the Age of Sail.
