PRESIDENT GRANT AND HIS SANTO DOMINGO ANNEXATION PROJECT - A STUDY OF ILL JUDGMENT
- Date Issued:
- 1972
- Summary:
- This is a study of President Grant's adoption of a proposal in early 1869 from the President of the Dominican Republic for the annexation of his country to the United States with a view to eventual statehood. It examines Grant's motivations for support of the proposal and his efforts to obtain annexation treaty ratification from an unconvinced Senate. It concludes that Grant gave a maladroit performance and showed a lack of political acumen; that Santo Domingo annexation was doomed from the start; and that Grant harmed himself and his party by stubborn fighting of a lost cause.
