As a poet, a painter, an engraver by trade, a radical Christian, and a revolutionary, William Blake(1757-1827) attacked the political tyranny of late eighteenth century England through his poetry and art. He consciously tried to liberate all Englishmen, or futhermore all human beings, from the 'mind-forg'd manacles' imposed on them by stale, limited belief systems. He set out to create a new myth or system that would expand the possibilities of human experience by rejecting each and every mental or psychological restriction―political, intellectual, social, emotional―that inhibited or prevented the gratification of man's (as opposed to woman's) desires.
Therefore he expected that the American Revolution would give an impetus to all Europeans that were chained by the 'mind-forg'd manacles'. With his expectancy, he found the terrible glory of the Revolution in some cases, but also he didn't lose the despairing results of it in other cases.
In his “America”(1793), he described this terrible glory of the Revolution in poetic texts. Simultaneously, he recognized the limited nature and imminent failure of the Revolution and suggested this ominous note in the initial illustrations and the frontispiece and the title page and the "Preludium" where the story of the American Revolution is related in its mythic dimension of “America”, and some poetic texts. This ominous note was culminated in the final description and picture of the American Revolution on the last plate.
Blake believed that the American Revolution lacked the essential imaginative dimension necessary for complete revolution or renewal. And he found that historically the American Revolution had the limitation. That is, the failure of the American Revolution prevented foreign interference in the early years of the Republic, just allowing the nation to consolidate its powers in a critical period and build a viable government, while the French lack of any such limitation prompted the European reaction against France in the 1790s.
For Blake, the process of this isolationism which accompanied national consolidation, symbolized by America's selfish love, represents the opposite of real liberation which must be universal to be effective and therefore indicates the inherent failure of the American Revolution. Thus the American Revolution was sounded as a half successful one to Blake's honest and innocent view.
