Features: British writer Anthony Trollope traveled to the United States and British colonies in North America between 1861 and 1862. Through his own travel experiences and personal observations, the author vividly portrays the social, political, economic, diplomatic, educational, religious, and customs of 19th-century America from the perspective and thoughts of a British person. At that time, the United States was in the midst of the Civil War, and this special historical background inevitably influenced all these areas. It also gave the British traveler a unique experience in America, as he used his brilliant pen to paint for us a vivid picture of American society at that time.
