American Diplomacy Under Tyler and Polk (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from American Diplomacy Under Tyler and Polk With the exceptions of Chapters XII and XIII the text is printed substantially as delivered in the form of lectures at the Johns Hopkins University. Chapter XIII appeared in the American Historical Review for January, 1905; Chapter XII is largely taken up with the report of Mackenzie upon his visit to Santa Anna, which, I believe, has never before been printed. Per haps it should be stated that the book was written wholly from materials accessible in the United States.

The Republican Vision of John Tyler


Book Description

Historians have generally ranked John Tyler as one of the least successful chief executives, despite achievements such as the WebsterAshburton treaty, which heralded improved relations with Great Britain, and the annexation of Texas. Why did Tyler pursue what appears to have been a politically selfdestructive course with regard to both his first party, the Democrats, and his later political alliance, the Whigs? Monroe has set out to explain the beliefs that led to Tyler=s resigning his Senate seat and exercising politically suicidal presidential vetoes as well as examines the crises Tyler faced during his term in the House: the Panic of 1819, the financially tottering national bank, and the Missouri debate.
