Anderson Committee Members, Jon R. Bond H. W. Brands John H. Lenihan David Vaught Head of Department, Walter L. Buenger May 2008 Major Subject: History iii ABSTRACT Truman, Congress and the Struggle for War and Peace in Korea. (May 2008) Larry Wayne Blomstedt, B.S., Texas State University; M.S., Texas A&M University-Kingsville Chair of Advisory Committee: Dr. Terry H. Anderson This dissertation analyzes the roles of the Harry Truman administration and Congress in directing American policy regarding the Korean conflict. Using evidence from primary sources such as Truman’s presidential papers, communications of White House staffers, and correspondence from State Department operatives and key congressional figures, this study suggests that the legislative branch had an important role in Korean policy. Congress sometimes affected the war by what it did and, at other times, by what it did not do. Several themes are addressed in this project. One is how Truman and the congressional Democrats failed each other during the war. The president did not dedicate adequate attention to congressional relations early in his term, and was slow to react to charges of corruption within his administration, weakening his party politically.

  • Historical Notes Distaff Side
    HISTORICAL NOTES on. the DISTAFF SIDE MARION WALLACE RENINGER HARRIET LANE The most famous of Lancaster County women was Harriet Lane, niece of President James Buchanan, who was born in Mercersburg, Penn- sylvania. She was the daughter of Jane Buchanan, James' favorite sister, and Elliot T. Lane, descendant of an old Virginia family. Jane's father, the elder James Buchanan, was a merchant, who had acquired wealth in trading at the Mercersburg stop on the great highway from east to west. Elliot Lane was also a merchant and his father-in-law transferred much of his trade 'to this son-in-law, Jane's husband. However, Mr. Lane died when Harriet was seven and two years later her mother died, leaving another girl and two boys as orphans. Her uncle and guardian, James Buchanan, invited her to come to live with him at his house in Lancaster. He also gave a home to another sister's orphan son, James Buchanan Henry, and to Harriet's younger brother, Elliot Eskbridge Lane. In reading letters written from Washington to Harriet in Lancaster the then Senator Buchanan shows his deep attention to Harriet's welfare and education. She attended a small private school for three years, prob- ably Miss Young's. Later she was sent to a boarding school in Lancaster kept by the Misses Crawford. Here she complained in letters to her uncle of "the strict rules, early hours, brown sugar in the tea and restrictions in dress." Here she was not very happy, as she was a mischievous and high spirited girl, who loved to play practical jokes and made many friends, but resented the school's strict disciplines.

Throughout the semester we studied all of the past presidents and compiled a ranked list of these men based on our personal opinion of their greatness. My thesis is a similar study of their wives. The knowledge I have gained through researching presidential spouses has been very complementary to the information I learned previously in Mr. Markle's class and has expanded my understanding of one ofthe most important political positions in the United States. The opportunity to see what parallels developed between my ran kings of the preSidents and the women that stood behind them has led me to a deeper understanding ofthe traits and characteristics that are embodied by those viewed as great leaders. 2 Acknowledgements I would like to thank my dad for helping me to participate in and understand the importance of history and education at a young age.

    EnterText 1.1 NIALL PALMER “Muckfests and Revelries”: President Warren G. Harding in Fact and Fiction This article will assess the development of the posthumous reputation of President Warren Gamaliel Harding (1921-23) through an examination of key historical and literary texts in Harding historiography. The article will argue that the president’s image has been influenced by an unusual confluence of factors which have both warped history’s assessment of his administration and retarded efforts at revisionism. As a direct consequence, the stereotypical, deeply negative, portrait of Harding remains rooted in the nation’s consciousness and the “rehabilitation” afforded to many presidents by revisionist writers continues to be denied to the man still widely-regarded as the worst president of the twentieth century. “Historians,” Eugene Trani and David Wilson observed in 1977, “have not been gentle with Warren G. Harding.”1 In successive surveys of American political scientists, historians and journalists, undertaken to rank presidents by achievement, vision and leadership skills, the twenty-ninth president consistently comes last.2 The Chicago Sun- Times, publishing the findings of fifty-eight presidential historians and political scientists in November 1995, placed Warren Harding at the head of the list of “The Ten Worst” Niall Palmer: Muckfests and Revelries 155 EnterText 1.1 Presidents.3 A 1996 New York Times poll branded Harding an outright “failure,” alongside two presidents who presided over the pre-Civil War crisis, Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan. The academic merit and methodological underpinnings of such surveys are inevitably flawed. Nonetheless, in most cases, presidential status assessments are fluid, reflecting the fluctuations of contemporary opinion and occasional waves of academic revisionism.

  • Dead Last: the Public Memory of Warren G. Harding's Scandalous
    Payne.1-19 11/13/08 3:02 PM Page 1 Questions Asked Democracy has no monuments. It strikes no medals. It bears the head of no man on a coin. —John Quincy Adams To enter into any serious historical criticism of these stories [regarding George Washington’s childhood] would be to break a butterfly. 1 —Henry Cabot Lodge Harding and the Log Cabin Myth Warren G. Harding’s story is an American myth gone wrong. As our twenty-ninth president, Harding occupied the office that stands at the symbolic center of American national identity.1 Harding’s biography should have easily slipped into American history and mythology when he died in office, on August 2, 1923. Having been born to a humble midwestern farm family, what better ending could there be to his story than death in the service of his nation? What stronger image could stand as a lasting tribute than grieving citizens lining the railroad tracks, as they had for Lincoln, Garfield, and McKinley, to view Har- ding’s body? The public grief that accompanied the passing of Harding’s burial train would seem to have foreshadowed a positive place in the national memory. Warren and Florence Harding were laid to rest in a classically designed marble mau- soleum in their hometown of Marion, Ohio, a mausoleum that was the last great memorial in the older style popular before the rise of presidential libraries. However, the near perfection Payne.1-19 11/13/08 3:02 PM Page 2 Dead Last of his political biography and his contemporary popularity did not follow him into history.

  • James Monroe, 5Th President I
    JAMES MONROE, 5TH PRESIDENT I : James Monroe 17^8-1831 President of the United States of America 1817-1825 THE TOURIST who makes a pilgrimage to James Monroe's two Virginia homes, Ash Lawn in Charlottesville and Oak Hill in Leesburg, carries away a sense of serenity, dignity and decent accomplishment. In the nation's folklore Monroe figures as one of the Virginia Dynasty, the fourth of five Presidents to come from the Old Dominion. He is associated with the Monroe Doctrine. His eight years in the White House are recalled as the "era of good feelings"—a period almost free from political strife. According to legend Monroe would have received a unanimous electoral vote when he was re-elected in 1820, except that a single elector who plumped for John Quincy Adams did so merely in order to reserve the H unique distinction of unanimity for George Washington. In actuality Monroe's career was much less comfortable. As a diplomat in Europe he offended both President Washington and President Jefferson. He irritated Madison by offering himself as a rival candidate for the Presidency in 1808. Though he made a good enough record in Madison's Administration as Secretary of State, later also managing to carry out the duties of Secretary of War, he was not the universal favorite among the Republicans for the presidential nomination in 1816. Severe in manner and in dress, he was a less attractive figure than the big, handsome William H. Crawford of Georgia. Some politicos grumbled that it was time to look outside Virginia.

DESCRIPTORS *Archives; *Authors; *Females; Modern History; Presidents of the United States; Primary Sources; Resource Materials; Social History; *United States History IDENTIFIERS *First Ladies (United States); *Personal Writing; Public Records; Social Power; Twentieth Century; Womens History ABSTRACT This collection of essays about the Presidential wives of the 20th century through Nancy Reagan. An exploration of the records of first ladies will elicit diverse insights about the historical impact of these women in their times. Interpretive theories that explain modern first ladies are still tentative and exploratory. The contention in the essays, however, is that whatever direction historical writing on presidential wives may follow, there is little question that the future role of first ladies is more likely to expand than to recede to the days of relatively silent and passive helpmates. Following a foreword and an introduction, essays in the collection and their authors are, as follows: "Meeting a New Century: The Papers of Four Twentieth-Century First Ladies" (Mary M.
