Abstract
In April 1782 Admiral Rodney won a notable victory over the French fleet at the battle of the Saints in the West Indies. The ensuing enthusiastic public celebrations can be understood only when proper account is taken not just of the war situation and the politics of the moment, but also of the ways in which the American conflict stimulated and redefined a popular sense of Britishness.
