Rufus King Papers, The Huntington Library, San Marino, California. Provenance Purchased from George D. Smith Book Company, 1927. Custodial History The Huntington Library has no record of the provenance of these papers, other than the immediate source: the George D. Smith Book Company (1927). This collection is not to be confused with the published correspondence of Rufus King, edited by Charles R. King, 1894-1900. Biographical Note Rufus King (1755-1827) American statesman and diplomatist, was born in Scarborough, Massachusetts (now Maine). He attended Harvard College, graduating in 1777; after a short interval of military service, he devoted himself to the study of law, and was admitted to the bar in 1780. Entering public life in 1783, as a delegate from Newburyport in the Massachusetts general court, King rose rapidly to a position of prominence in the Federalist party. He was a member of the Federal Convention, and later U. S. senator from New York. In 1796 Rufus King was called to succeed Thomas Pinckney as minister plenipotentiary to Great Britain, where he remained for eight years. Again, in 1825, just as he was about to retire from public life, King was called once more to the Court of St. James, but illness forced him to return a year later, and his death occurred on April 29, 1827. Scope and Content This collection contains originals and contemporary copies of correspondence of American statesman and diplomat Rufus King (1755-1827), dating from 1782 until 1830, related to United States Department of State communications including negotiations with Great Britain; intelligence bearing on the tension between the United States and France; financial transactions with English and Dutch banking houses; and confidential letters written by American diplomatic representatives. Correspondence includes letters and dispatches received by King during his tenure as American minister in London reflecting on United States foreign relations. The letters document negotiations with Great Britain related to claims and protests having to do with violations of the sovereignty of the United States (e.g. confiscation of ships and cargoes; Rufus King Papers: Finding Aid mssRK 1-607 2 unlawful use of American waters; impressment of American seamen); the claim of the state of Maryland to sequestered bank stock; and the execution of the 6th and 7th articles of the treaty of 1794. The correspondence also includes intelligence reflecting tensions between the United States and France related to complaints of the directory in connection with the commercial treaties of the United States; the failure of the American commission (Pinckney, Marshall and Gerry) to France; hostilities in the West Indies: and overtures of Toussaint L'Ouverture. As well, the letters document financial transactions with English and Dutch banking houses in connection with expenditures for diplomatic purposes, claims, salaries etc. There are also confidential letters written from the Hague, Berlin, Lisbon, and Paris by American diplomatic representatives related to war intelligence, American foreign policy, politics at home and abroad, the Gerry-Tallyrand fiasco, and private and personal matters. Correspondents include John Quincy Adams (52 pieces), John Dawson (9 items), Oliver Ellsworth (6 items), Elbridge Gerry (20 pieces), George Hammond (5 pieces), James Madison (6 pieces) James C. Mountflorence (39 pieces), William Vans Murray (156 pieces), Timothy Pickering (94 pieces), Charles Cotesworth Pinckney (21 items), Edmund Randolph (16 items), William Loughton Smith (47 items), Charles-Périgord Talleyrand (10 items), Oliver Wolcott (7 items), and others.

Scholar to join LancasterHistory to discuss new book on the relationship between bachelor politicians Buchanan and King Dr. Thomas Balcerski to discuss his book "Bosom Friends" at Presidential Lecture Series. Lancaster, PA (October 2, 2019) – On Thursday, October 17, 2019, Dr. Thomas Balcerski will join LancasterHistory to discuss his new book Bosom Friends: The Intimate World of James Buchanan and William Rufus King. The friendship of the bachelor politicians James Buchanan (1791-1868) of Pennsylvania and William Rufus King (1786-1853) of Alabama has excited much speculation through the years. Why did neither marry? Might they have been gay? Or was their relationship a nineteenth-century version of the modern-day “bromance?” In Bosom Friends, Dr. Thomas Balcerski explores the lives of these two politicians and discovers one of the most significant collaborations in American political history. His work demonstrates that intimate male friendships among politicians were—and continue to be—an important part of success in American politics. Thomas Balcerski, Ph.D. is an assistant professor of history at Eastern Connecticut State University, where he teaches courses broadly in American history. Balcerski received his Ph.D. from Cornell University in 2014.

Submitted for the degree of M.A., 1990. Department of History, University of Durham. This study concentrates on the period from the introduction of the Tallmadge amendment in February 1819 to the settiing of the controversy with the famous Compromise in March 1820. The Missouri crisis is erroneously viewed as the product of politics first, with antislavery a poor second. There are examples of growing sectional antagonism before 1819. But at no time was consistent sectional unity possible on economic and political issues. Only slavery produced the unity and strength of feeling to provoke a major sectional conflict.
