  • Theodore Roosevelt on the Sinking of the Lusitania, 1915 Introduction
    1 Theodore Roosevelt on the sinking of the Lusitania, 1915 Introduction On May 7, 1915, the British passenger ship Lusitania, sailing from New York to Liverpool, was torpedoed by a German U-boat. The Lusitania sank, killing 1,195 people on board, including 123 Americans. The incident created sharp reactions among Americans, many of whom believed that the United States should inflict an immediate reprisal upon Germany. President Woodrow Wilson, however, took a cautious approach to responding to the attack, demanding from Germany an apology, compensation for American victims, and a pledge to discontinue unannounced submarine warfare. Former President Theodore Roosevelt disagreed with Wilson’s diplomatic response to the sinking of the Lusitania. Roosevelt believed that the attack warranted a military reprisal and that the United States had little choice but to enter the war. In June 1915, Roosevelt wrote to an aquaintance criticizing Wilson’s handling of the incident, writing, “If Lincoln had acted after the firing of Sumter in the way that Wilson did about the sinking of the Lusitania, in one month the North would have been saying they were so glad he kept them out of the war.” Criticizing both the government’s response and the American peoples’ apathy over the attack, Roosevelt wrote that he was “pretty well disgusted with our government and with the way our people acquiesce in and support it.” Excerpt Wilson and Bryan have quarreled over what seems to me an entirely insignificant point, that is, as to the percentage of water they shall put into a policy of mere milk and water.

The Progressive Era Origins of the National Security Act Mark R.Shulman* Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged to provisions against danger; real or pretended, from abroad. -James Madison to Thomas Jefferson, May 1798' I. Introduction to "National Security" The National Security Act of 1947* and its successors drew the blueprint of the Cold War domestic political order. This regime centralized control of the military services-the Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and a newly separate Air Force-in a single executive branch department. It created a new professional organization to collect and analyze foreign intelligence, the Central Intelligence Agency. And at the center of this new national security apparatus, a National Security Council would eventually establish foreign policy by coordinating intelligence and directing military and para-military forces, as well as supervising a National Security Resources Board.

  • Caucuses and Elections Source Set Teaching Guide
    TEACHING WITH PRIMARY SOURCES Caucuses and Elections How do presidential candidates, their campaigns and their supporters attempt to win the vote of the American electorate? For a hundred years after the Civil War, Iowa was a reliably Republican state. Only during the crisis of the Great Depression in the 1930s did Iowa show up in the Democratic column on election night. However, beginning the 1950s, the Democratic Party took on new life in the face of rural/urban divisions, the growing strength of labor unions, and attention to national issues like civil rights and the Vietnam war. Cities pushed for more equitable representation in the legislature against rural resistance. Despite its smaller size and population, Iowa became very important in the election of a U.S. President. Each state has its own process for selecting delegates to national political conventions where the parties nominate their candidates. Iowa uses a caucus system. Members of each party meet together in local meetings called caucuses to select delegates to a county convention that chooses delegates to the district and state conventions. The state conventions are held in June and choose delegates to the national convention. Because the process takes many months, the local caucus has to meet in January or early February to get all the steps done. Because of that timing, the Iowa caucus becomes the first official step anywhere in the nation in selecting a president, and news reporters flock to the state to find out which candidates are ahead. In 1972, Senator George McGovern gained national attention when he came out on top of the Iowa caucuses.

Dawes Archive Biography: Charles Gates Dawes (1865-1951), prominent in U.S. politics and business, served as Comptroller of the Currency (1898-1901), director of the Military Board of Allied Supply (1918-1919), and first director of the Bureau of the Budget (1921). He received a Nobel Peace Prize as chairman of the Reparations Commission which restructured Germany's economy and devised a repayment plan (1924). He was elected Vice-President (1925- 1929), and appointed ambassador to England (1929-1931) and chairman of the Reconstruction Finance Corporation (1932). Charles and his brothers founded Dawes Brothers Incorporated. Dawes formed the Central Trust Co. in Chicago (1902), guided its successor banks, and was influential in Chicago business, politics, and philanthropy until his death. Charles Gates Dawes was born and educated in Ohio. He married Caro Blymyer in 1889, practiced law, and incorporated a real estate business in Lincoln, Nebraska, before moving to Evanston, Illinois in 1895. He acquired utility companies and real estate in northern Illinois and Wisconsin; and in 1908, with his brothers Henry, Rufus, and Beman, formed Dawes Brothers Incorporated, to invest assets in banks, oil companies and real estate throughout the country. Various acquaintances who were prominent in political and industrial affairs trusted them to manage their investments as well. Other companies in which Charles Dawes and his brothers played leading roles included Chicago's Central Trust Co. and its successor banks and Pure Oil Company of Ohio. Dawes made significant philanthropic contributions to the Chicago metropolitan community.

Courtesy of Library of Congress “King Andrew the First,” 1833 Weitenkampf, 1833. Courtesy of Library of Congress “Save America” Speech, 1920 Nicholas Murray Butler President, Columbia University In the approaching contest, the nation faces a crisis. Fundamental principles are involved. Shall the America of our fathers, with its republican form of government, its principles of civil liberty, and its whole democratic social and industrial order be maintained for a new period of constructive progress, or shall it be abandoned for some untried experiment? This is not the first crisis in the history of the republic. This is not the first time that the principles for which the Republican Party stands have been called upon to save the country from its enemies. There are elements in our population which teach doctrines that sound strange to the American ear. The present crisis is brought about by those who have lost faith in America -- who no longer believe in, or who do not understand the principles of the Declaration of Independence and of the Constitution of the United States -- who would turn their backs upon a republican form of government, in order to set up in its place a system of control by a privileged class. Such men frankly proclaim their preference for the political philosophy of Lenin and Trotsky to that of Washington, Hamilton, Webster, and Lincoln. Once let the American people understand the issue, and they will rise in their might to overwhelm the enemies of America.

ELY: One hundred and nineteen times the Economic Club has met in this hotel, and as individuals we have eaten more than was good for us, and as to what we have drunk--I forbear to make any statements. But we owe a great deal to the Hotel Astor. When the Economic Club was founded, W.C. Muschenheim, founder of the Hotel--he is dead, but his younger brother is still alive--said to me, “I would like to have my hotel an intellectual center--and the Economic Club was formed! Introduction Paul C. Cravath, President Gentlemen, the subject of tonight’s discussion is before you on the program, and I am informed that the best qualified man in Washington to defend the President’s plan is with us here, tonight, the honorable Robert H.

Peters The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2013 Under the Supervision of Professor Glen Jeansonne This study examines the major foreign policy events of Herbert Hoover’s presidency. The thesis uses newspapers, presidential memorandums as well as memoirs from key cabinet members in Hoover’s administration to bring into account Hoover’s background and upbringing as a motive for how he dealt with foreign policy issues throughout his four years in office and brings to light his efforts to create a better and more peaceful world. Beginning with his childhood, Hoover began to develop moral and character attributes that taught him the importance of helping neighbors and always acting humane when it came to issues of war, pain and suffering.
