White examines the "middle ground" as both a place (the pays d'en haut of the Great Lakes region between 1650-1815) and a process of mutual accommodation between Algonquian-speaking Indians and French, British, and Americans. The middle ground consisted of creative misunderstandings in which Indians and Europeans attempted to build a set of mutually understandable practices. Several conditions are necessary for a middle ground process: a nonfunctioning or weak state authority, a relatively evenly-balanced distribution of power between peoples, the inability of one side to effectively use force over the other, and the need or desire to interact with one another (such as for trade goods). Both sides then try to engage in practices that the other side might find intelligible, such as European leaders consciously taking on the role of a patriarch that distributes gifts, mediates conflicts, and "covers" violent deaths. Indians, meanwhile, began participating in a market economy, compromised on legal punishments, and submitted to a limited degree to European oversight. The middle ground took place on both formal diplomatic levels (European powers budgeting for gift-giving) and the more everyday scale of individual interactions (sex and violence). People on both sides tried to justify their actions in terms of what they THOUGHT the other side's cultural framework to be (creative misunderstandings). Perhaps the best example is that of how they treated homicide, with both sides compromising - Europeans would sometimes cover the dead, while Indians would sometimes allow for individual perpetrators to be punished.
The narrative arc of The Middle Ground begins with a story of refugees, as Algonquian-speaking Indians flee northward from brutal warfare at the hands of the Iroquois during the 1640s-1660s. This places them in the orbit of French traders and missionaries and allow for the middle ground to flourish. The first half of the eighteenth century was a golden age for the middle ground, as Algonquians developed a relationship with Onontio (the title for a French governor) in which he was expected to act as a father in disbursing gifts and mediating conflicts. During this period the fur trade became deeply entangled with gift-giving, representing a hybrid form of exchange that was necessary for the system to function for both sides. During the 1740s and 1750s the French-Algonquian alliance began to weaken with increased competition from British. White drives home the point that in the pays d'en haut local, village politics were inseparable from imperial politics - instead of a hierarchical system of competing nation-states, the world of the middle ground took place between village alliances, intermarriages, and the decisions of specific chiefs that ended up reverberating across imperial politics.

Because firstly, it had originally been the Jewish homeland hundreds of years before, prior to occupation by Arab armies in the expansion of Islam and the domination of the territory by the Ottoman Empire. Secondly, the land had been granted to them by the British Empire, as it had been part of Britain's territories since the end of the First World War, so the Jewish government in Israel when first established in 1948 had total international legitimacy. Thirdly, after losing 6 million of their people during the Holocaust, the survivors felt a need to leave Europe and join forces in a land where they would not be slaughtered en masse; their Holy Land seemed like a good choice at the time.

The correct answer is "the tie that bound her to Spain has been severed". The "tie" refers to the colonial rule and "her" refers to America. To put in other words, Bolívar says in that sentence that the colonial rule of Spain over America is over.
With "kept the parts of that immense monarchy together", Bolívar is refering that only the concept of colonialism held the Spanish Empire together, but no one on the American continent felt bounded with the Spanish mainland.
The sentence "inspired in us is greater than the ocean between us" refers to the fact that America and Spain are so far from each other (there is literally an ocean between them), so there is little connection between the two. In this sentence he also says that the hate of the Spanish towards the Americans is bigger than the ocean between Spain and America.
