Politics Among Danish Americans in the Midwest, ca. 1890-1914 by J0rn Brnndal During the last decades of the nineteenth century and into the twentieth, ethnicity and religion played a vital role in shaping the political culture of the Midwest. Indeed, historians like Samuel P. Hays, Lee Benson, Richard Jensen (of part Danish origins), and Paul Kleppner argued that ethnoreligious factors to a higher degree than socioeconomic circumstances informed the party affiliation of ordinary voters.1 It is definitely true that some ethnoreligious groups like, say, the Irish Catholics and the German Lutherans boasted full­ fledged political subcultures complete with their own press, their own political leadership and to some extent, at least, their own ethnically defined issues. Somewhat similar patterns existed among the Norwegian Americans.2 They too got involved in grassroots­ level political activities, with their churches, temperance societies, and fraternal organizations playing an important role in modeling a political subculture.

  • Siberian Goats and North American Deer: a Contextual Approach to the Translation of Russian Common Names for Alaskan Mammals CATHERINE HOLDER BLEE’
    ARCTIC VOL. 42, NO. 3 (SEPTEMBER 1989) F! 227-231 Siberian Goats and North American Deer: A Contextual Approach to the Translation of Russian Common Names for Alaskan Mammals CATHERINE HOLDER BLEE’ (Received 1 September 1988; accepted in revised form 19 January 1989) ABSTRACT. The word iaman was used by 19th-century Russian speakers in Sitka, Alaska, to refer to locally procured artiodactyls. The term originally meant “domesticated goat” in eastern Siberia and has usually been translated as“wild sheep” or “wild goat” in the American context. Physical evidence in the formof deer bones recovered during archeological excavations dating to the Russian period in Sitka suggested a reexamination of the context in which the word iaman was used bythe Russians. Russian, English, Latin and German historical and scientific literature describing the animalwere examined for the context in which the word was used. These contexts and 19th-century Russian dictionary definitions equating wild goats with small deer substantiate the hypothesis that the word iuman referred to the Sitka black-tailed deer by Russian speakers living in Sitka. Key words: Alaskan mammals, Alaskan archeology, historical archeology, ethnohistory, Russian translation, southeast Alaska, faunal analysis, Russian America RI~SUMÉ.Le mot iaman était utilisé au XIXe siècle, par les locuteurs russes de Sitka en Alaska, pour se référer aux artiodactyles qui cons- tituaient une source d’approvisionnement locale. Ce terme signifiait à l’origine (( chèvre domestique )> dans la Sibérie de l’est et a généralement été traduit comme (( mouton sauvage >) ou (( chèvre sauvage )) dans le contexte américain. Des preuves physiques sous la forme d’os de cerfs trouvés au cours de fouilles archéologiques datant de la période russe à Sitka, indiquaient que le contexte dans lequel le mot iaman était utilisé par les Russes devaitêtre réexaminé.

  • History with an Attitude: Alaska in Modern Russian Patriotic Rhetoric
    Andrei A. Znamenski, Memphis/USA History with an Attitude: Alaska in Modern Russian Patriotic Rhetoric Guys, stop your speculations and read books. One of my re­ cent discoveries is Kremlev. Here is a real history of Russia. One reads his books and wants to beat a head against a wall from the realization of how much we lost due to corruption, treason and the stupidity of our rulers – tsars, general secret­ aries and presidents. What wonderful opportunities we had in the past and how much we have lost!1 A nationalist blogger about the ultra-patriotic popular his­ tory “Russian America: Discovered and Sold” (2005) by Sergei Kremlev In Russian-American relations, Alaska is doomed to remain a literary-political metaphor – some sort of a stylistic figure of speech whose original meaning faded away being re­ placed with an imagined one.2 Writer Vladimir Rokot (2007) On the afternoon of October 18, 1867, a Siberian Line Battalion and a detachment of the US Ninth Infantry faced each other on a central plaza of New Archangel (Figure 1), the capital of Russian America, prepared for the official ceremony of lowering the Russian flag and of raising the Stars and Stripes. This act was to finalize the transfer of Alaska (Figure 2) from Russia to the United States, which bought the territory for $ 7.2 million. At 4 PM, Captain Aleksei Peshchurov gave orders to lower the Russian flag. After this, Brigadier General Lovell Rousseau, a representative of the US Government, ordered the American flag to be raised. Salutes were fired. This ceremony ended a brief seventy-year presence of the Russian Empire in northwestern North America.3 Driven by short-term strategic goals, Russian emperor Alexander II decided to get rid of his overseas posses­ sion, which represented 6 per cent of the Russian Empire territory.

  • Azərbaycan Respublikasının Amerika Birləşmiş Ştatlarındakı Səfirliyi Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the United States of America
    Azərbaycan Respublikasının Amerika Birləşmiş Ştatlarındakı Səfirliyi Embassy of the Republic of Azerbaijan to the United States of America April 4, 2014 The Honorable Jeanette K. White 35A Old Depot Rd., Putney, VT 05346 Dear Senator White, I am writing to you to express my deepest concern regarding the troubling news that a Senate Resolution 9 entitled “Senate Resolution Requesting That The President And Congress Of The United States Recognize The Independent Nagorno Karabakh Republic” was introduced on April 3, 2014 in the Vermont State Senate and was later referred to the Committee on Government Operations. This is a dangerous provocation which may seriously damage the very successful strategic partnership between the United States of America and Azerbaijan based on shared values and common interests. Furthermore, it clearly undermines America's interests in Eurasia. It is, in fact, rather counter-intuitive that at this crucial juncture when whole international community stands for the principle of territorial integrity in the case of Crimea in Ukraine, this resolution calls for recognition of puppet separatist regime non-recognized even by Armenia itself and created on the occupied Azerbaijani territories. Supporting Armenian separatism in Azerbaijan would be the same as supporting separatist enities in Georgia, Moldova and Ukraine. Not surprisingly, while Azerbaijan was among many progressive nations voting in the United Nations with the United States in support of Ukraine, Armenia was among only 11 nation voting with Russia against Ukraine. The other nations in the group included Iran, Cuba, Venezuela and others. In essence, the draft resolution would indicate Vermont's agreement with above narrow group of nations with strong anti-Western views.

These block­ houses were to be their homes and these choppings their fields. Their arrival was the result of the efforts of a small group of men who had been working for a decade to populate the wilderness of northern Maine by the establishment of an agricultural colony from Scandinavia.

  • Der Vereinigten Staaten Von Amerika
    STAATS- UND VERWALTUNGSRECHT VEREINIGTE STAATEN VON AMERIKA Die Steflung Puerto Ricos im Verbande der Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika Als am 25. Juli 1952.für Puerto Rico eine eigene Verfassung in Kraft trat, wurde damit der Entwicklungsgeschichte der Vereinigten Staaten ein Element zugefügt, dessen Bedeutung für die Zukunft sich noch nicht ganz übersehen läßt, das jedoch schon heute Anlaß zu staatsrechtlicher Betrachtung bietet. Am Ende des vorigen Jahrhunderts bestanden die.Vereinigten Staaten von Amerika aus 45 Staaten, dem District of Columbia mit der Bundeshaupt- stadt so-wie fünf Territorien, die zwar Bestandteile der Union bildeten, in- dessen noch nicht die Rechte eines Gliedstaates besaßen (Oklahorna, New Mexico, Arizona, das Indian Territo und Alaska). Mit Ausnahme des 1867 von Rußland an die Vereinigten Staaten abgetretenen und von deren Grenze durch die rund 850 km lange pazifische Küste Kanadas getrennten Alaska bildeten diese Gebiete eine geschlossene kontinentale Landmasse, die im Laufe einer 125-jährigen Entwicklung aus den revolutionären Anfängen der Unab.hängigkeitskämpfe durch teils friedliche, teils kriegerische Gebiets- worden Mit erwerbungen zu ihrem nunmehrigen Bestand abgerundet war. der Verleihung der Staatsrechte an Oklahoma, mit dem das Indian Territory verbunden wurde (1907), New Mexico und Arizona (1912) fand- diese kon- tinentale Entwicklung ihr Ende. Inzwischen war jedoch die Wendung der Vereinigten Staaten zu einem Hinausgreifen über den kontinentalen Raum mit dem kurzen, Kriege gegen Spanien 1898 eingetreten. Sie ist mit dem Namen Theodore R o o s e v e 1 t verknüpft, wenn dieser auch erst 1901 durch die Ermordung M c K i n 1 e y s Präsident und verantwortlicher Leiter der amerikanischen Außenpolitik wurde.
