  • The Dutchness of the Roosevelts
    The Dutchness of the Roosevelts FRANK FREIDEL wo of the most notable of American Presidents in the twentieth Tcentury, Theodore Roosevelt and Franklin D. Roosevelt, took intense pride in their Dutch ancestry. It was the first topic that Theo­ dore Roosevelt wrote about in the opening pages of his Autobiography. Franklin sketched the family line in a paper he wrote as a student at Harvard University, and at the beginning of each of his unprecedented four terms as President took his oath of office on the old Dutch family Bible.1 Yet both Roosevelts were Dutch more in name and in tradition than in origins. Theodore, a fifth cousin of Franklin, was less than a quarter Dutch; Franklin had only a trifling percentage of Dutch an­ cestry. Both Roosevelts, despite their name, were predominantly Eng- lish in origin. There were sound reasons, both political and social, for their pride in their Dutch name. Socially there was no more prestigious pedigree in New York than to be a member of one of the old Knicker­ bocker families, tracing descent from the founders of New Amsterdam. The Roosevelts enjoyed a secure position in New York society. The political worth of a Dutch name was rather less tangible but nevertheless seemed consequential to both the Roosevelts. It was well to give the impression that one was somehow not an unadulterated blue blood of English colonial aristocracy, but rather a product of the American melting pot. Both Roosevelts had a tendency to claim as varied an ancestry as possible depending upon the ethnic origins of the group whose votes they were soliciting at a given moment.

  • Clash of Characters: Theodore Roosevelt's Encounter with Queen
    Clash of characters: Theodore Roosevelt’s encounter with Queen Wilhelmina (1910) Jac Geurts Immediately after leaving office in early 1909, former president Teddy Roosevelt left the United States for a 10-month African safari and a triumphal tour of European cities, where he enjoyed international acclaim. During this tour he also visited his forefather’s country Holland, where he had lunch with the Dutch Queen Wilhelmina. According to a commemorative book, With Roosevelt through Holland, and two of the most important papers of the moment – the Algemeen Handelsblad and the Nieuwe Rotterdamsche Courant – it was a fantastic journey which Roosevelt enjoyed intensely. The highlight of the program would have been his meeting with Queen Wilhelmina. In comparison to these ecstatic descriptions Roosevelt’s version of the visit to Wilhelmina was, as expressed in a letter to a friend, very disappointing to say the least. She “wasn’t nice, attractive or gentle, […] but commonplace, arrogant and bad tempered … a conceited middle-class frau”, who he almost detested. The question what aroused his anger is the subject of this article. While the always smiling, easy going and open minded president was consistently in favour of the idea of democratic leadership, the queen’s rigid personality was more prone to favour an autocratic government. Due to the differences in personalities between the two a clash of characters was inevitable. Key terms: President Theodore Roosevelt; Queen Wilhelmina; Roosevelt’s tour of Europe (1910); Dutch-American relations. Introduction Passengers on the 1911 maiden trip of the S.S. Rotterdam, the flagship of the Holland-America Line (De Boer 1923) could find a brochure in the library entitled With Roosevelt through Holland (Brusse 1911), written by the then well-known journalist for the Nieuwe Rotterdamse Courant (NRC) Rie Brusse (Teychiné Can.

  • Executive Power and Republicanism: the Battle to Define Ulysses S
    Executive Power and Republicanism: The Battle to Define Ulysses S. Grant’s Presidency 1868-1880 Annabelle Frances Grenville-Mathers Submitted for the fulfilment of the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy Department of History March 2015 1 2 Thesis Summary This thesis situates the presidency of Ulysses S. Grant (1869-1877) and the attempts to provide him with a third term in the republican political culture of Reconstruction. Exploring the period through the lens of the press, pamphlets, and archival material, it shows how republican ideas – especially hostility to partisan politics and fear of concentrated power – in the era had the capacity to both augment and detract from the president’s ability to secure the post-war settlement. Early interpretations of Grant’s presidency, written by scholars often hostile to Reconstruction, accused him of overzealous support for African-American civil rights. In contrast, revisionists blamed Reconstruction’s failure in part on Grant’s weak administration. However, when viewed through the prism of the republican political culture of the era, it is possible to see how Grant’s presidency could be simultaneously strong and weak. Republicanism enabled the portrayal of Grant as both a model republican and a tyrant- in-waiting. This thesis argues that the very qualities which made him a strong president – his antipartisanship, self-sacrifice, and honour – gave Grant the independence and support which many feared would be the undoing of the republic. Republicanism had the power to define the parameters of the possible during Reconstruction. With the federal government in tumult and the boundaries of presidential power undefined, Americans’ fears over the safety of their liberties helped shape what could be achieved during Reconstruction.

  • Lincoln's Gamble Fear of Intervention and the Onset of the American Civil War
    The Pearson Institute Discussion Paper No. 22 Lincoln's gamble Fear of intervention and the onset of the American Civil War Paul Poast 2015 Security Studies, 24(3), 502-527 Security Studies, 24:502–527, 2015 Copyright © Taylor & Francis Group, LLC ISSN: 0963-6412 print / 1556-1852 online DOI: 10.1080/09636412.2015.1070621 Lincoln’s Gamble: Fear of Intervention and the Onset of the American Civil War PAUL POAST Few studies consider how civil war onset can be influenced by third parties and by the belligerents’ perceptions of third party actions. I show that the American Civil War, a war largely ignored by civil war scholars, sheds insights into how anticipation of third party intervention influences the decision-making process within the tar- get state and how the possibility of third party intervention can influence the onset and escalation of civil war. The American Civil War is an especially interesting case for exploring the role of third parties in civil war initiation since, unlike most cases considered by the existing civil war literature, the American Civil War is an instance of nonintervention: the third parties (the European powers in this case) mattered despite staying out of the conflict. Specifically, I argue that fear of foreign recognition (particularly by the British) played an underappreciated (if not the decisive) role in the earliest stages of the American Civil War by influencing Lincoln’s decision to authorize the first major battle of the war at Manassas Junction, Virginia.

  • Educational Philanthropist George Peabody (1795-1869) and US-British Relations, 1850S-1860S
    DOCUMENT RESUME ED 436 444 SO 030 785 AUTHOR Parker, Franklin; Parker, Betty J. TITLE Educational Philanthropist George Peabody (1795-1869) and U.S.-British Relations, 1850s-1860s. PUB DATE 1998-12-28 NOTE 82p. PUB TYPE Historical Materials (060) EDRS PRICE MF01/PC04 Plus Postage. DESCRIPTORS *Donors; *Educational History; Foreign Countries; *International Relations; Private Financial Support IDENTIFIERS Great Britain; *Peabody (George); Philanthropists ABSTRACT This paper is about Massachusetts-born merchant George Peabody's social contacts with 10 U.S. ministers (now called ambassadors) to Britain during the 1850s and 1860s, especially Peabody's contact with John Lothrop Motley, U.S. minister to Britain at the time of Peabody's death. The paper begins with Peabody's life and commercial career; describes his transition from that of a U.S. merchant to London-based merchant banker; tells how he made his fortune; describes how and why he gave most of his fortune to found libraries, museums, and foundations; and explores why historians have called him the founder of modern American educational philanthropy. Peabody's association with Motley offers insights into Peabody's unusual funeral and helps explain why the people and press of two nations gave it so much solemnity and grandeur. The paper concludes with an assessment of George Peabody as a merchant turned international banker and educational philanthropist whose promotion of U.S.-British friendship has largely escaped historians' attention. The paper's "Afterword" sums up public memory events of Peabody since his death. Contains 194 references.(BT) Reproductions supplied by EDRS are the best that can be made from the original document.
