Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Following the American Revolution, Americans and Canadians pondered and debated, for well over a century, the prospective integration of their countries. Americans favoring Canadian annexation expressed their sentiments irregularly but were widespread in the Whig, Democratic, and Republican parties. They generally held that Canada’s entry to the United States would occur peacefully and be welcomed by Canadians. The loudest and most belligerent talk regarding Canadian annexation, though, occurred during the half-dozen years following the U.S. Civil War and stemmed from disputes with Great Britain over the unresolved Alabama Claims. Michigan Senator and Detroit resident, Zachariah Chandler, led the annexation chorus. For decades beforehand—and thereafter—Detroit residents, living along the U.S.-Canadian border, had followed Canadian affairs more closely than most U.S. residents. Their perceptions thus provide an instructive window into the broader U.S. debate regarding Canada and Canadian annexation.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)

The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.

Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
