  • The Poinsettia: History and Transformation
    HISTORY The Poinsettia: History and Transformation Judith M. Taylor, Roberto G. Lopez, Christopher J. Currey and Jules Janick Figure 2. The poinsettia is a common The beautiful poinsettia, known for its scarlet bracts, comes to us encrusted with myth and landscape plant in the tropics (Huang, legend as befi ts a royal plant of the Aztecs. The Nahua people in Mexico called it cuetlaxochitl; 2007). xochitl is ancient Nahua for an ornamental fl ower. This plant did not fl ourish in their high altitude capital, Tenochtitlan (now Mexico City), but every winter the rulers imported thousands of the plants from warmer regions. Extracts of the plant were used to dye cloth and its milky sap, or latex, was used for medicinal purposes. The Spanish conquerors and missionaries attempted to erase all evidence of the preceding pagan Aztec religion but records have survived showing that the plants were used for religious ceremonies in the winter (Anderson and Tischer, 1997). Once the Spanish friars took over they adopted the brilliant red plant as part of the Christmas ritual. The Spanish-speaking Mexicans named it fl ore de nochebuena, the fl ower of the Holy Night (Christmas Eve), and the French later named it etoile d’amour (star of love). The vivid red bracts of poinsettia that emerge in mid-winter have signifi ed the festive mood at Christmas and the joy of the season for many for over 150 years in the United States and Europe. The purpose of this article is to establish the actual story of its arrival in the United States and Europe attempting to clear away all the accumulated misinformation and cobwebs, and to review its extraordinary development as an important horticultural crop.

Martin van Buren and Herbert Hoover are generally charged with beginning the depressions of 1837 and 1929; Ulysses S. Grant and Warren G.

According to Buchanan's latest biographer, Philip S. Klein, "many people remember Buchanan as the bachelor in the Ahite House who either caused the Civil War or who ought, some- how to have prevented it."2 Few people realize that the fifteenth President was singularly well qualified to occupy the White House. Born in 1791, a native of Pennsylvania, Buchanan graduated from Dickinson College in 1809. and was admitted to the bar three years later. With a good knowledge of the law, he served first in the Pennsylvania house arid then for the next ten years as Congressman.

I focus primarily on Joel Roberts Poinsett, a United States ambassador and statesman, whose career provides a lens into the tensions inherent in a yeoman republic reliant on territorial expansion, yet predicated on the inclusive principles ofliberty and virtue. During his diplomatic service in Chile in the 1810s and Mexico in the 1820s, I argue that Poinsett distinguished the character ofthe United States from that ofEuropean empires by actively fostering republican culture and institutions, while also pursuing an increasingly aggressive program ofnational self-interest.

  • Joel Roberts Poinsett
    JOEL ROBERTS POINSETT Joel Roberts Poinsett: The Man Behind The Flower Each year the Christmas season is brightened by the poinsettia which has become the traditional Christmas flower. It is named for the American statesman who introduced it to this country from its native Mexico. The story behind this man who gave a lifetime of service to his country and to Freemasonry has been neglected while that of others who have accomplished far less is familiar to all. This, then, is the story of Joel Roberts Poinsett. With the sounds of the American Revolution round about him, he was born in Charleston, South Carolina, on March 2, 1779, of wealthy parents. His father, Dr. Elisha Poinsett, had dressed the wounds of the dying Pulaski at the siege of Savannah. Little is known of his mother. Poinsett's formal education began in England where the family lived for six years from 1782 until 1788 . After returning to America, he attended a succession of private schools. He is said to have been a good scholar, especially distinguishing himself in languages, both ancient and modern. He became fluent in French, Spanish, Italian, German and Russian which prepared him for the diplomatic career he was to follow. In October, 1797, determined to follow his father's wishes, Poinsett enrolled in medical school in Edinburgh. After less than a year, he became convinced that medicine was not for him. Enrolling in the Royal Military Academy, Poinsett became fascinated with military maneuvers, the cavalry, the artillery and the art of fortification. He was convinced he should become a professional soldier.

Poinsett’s role in the Nullification Crisis of 1832-1833 in South Carolina within the context of his previous experiences abroad. The work will analyze Poinsett’s occupations before his role as leader of the Unionists in South Carolina to better understand his actions during the crisis.
