Make it stand out H/t to Adam Keiper for this image! McKinley’s assassination prompted Congress to request full time Secret Service protection for presidents. Prior to 1902, protection had been sporadic, depending on the moment and the president. The 1960s witnessed another wave of political assassinations, including Medgar Evers (1963), John F. Kennedy (1963), Malcolm X (1965), Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. (1968), and Robert F. Kennedy (1968). In response, Congress passed a series of laws extending presidential protection to first families, former presidents, and ultimately major party candidates. What Assassinations Reveal about the Moment While each decade of American history has its own peculiarities, there are a few similarities between the post-Civil War period and the 1960s: robust bottom-up reform movements, racial divisions and violence, social upheaval after major military conflicts, generational turnover in political leadership, xenophobia, battles over civil rights, intraparty divisions as well as interparty fighting, and geographical shifts in party membership. These conditions produced increased partisan tensions, virulent rhetoric, and heightened convictions that radical means were justified to preserve their way of life or protect the nation as they saw it. Political violence then starts in small ways. Threats to the press, seemingly random assaults or attacks on voting places, election officials, or law enforcement officers, or destruction of property (i.e. graffiti, smashing windows, or burning crosses on a front lawn) are typical first spasms of political violence. These tend to escalate into more organized violence or escalate into more fatal attacks (like assassinations). Once violent speech and violent acts are in the political bloodstream they are rarely isolated incidents. Political violence tends to break out in clusters. These conditions might sound familiar. We have spent the last 10-15 years squabbling over immigration, civil rights, and various reforms. Xenophobia regularly rears its ugly head. Voting constituencies are shifting in dramatic fashion, while many elder statesmen are resisting calls for generational turnover. The parties are weak, which has led to increased radicalism, animosity in political rhetoric, and a decline in compromise. And guns are more available than ever. Political violence didn’t spring out of nowhere on Saturday. Representatives Gabby Giffords and Steve Scalise were both the victims of shootings. Bombs were sent (and thankfully detected) to the Obamas, Clintons, and more. Death threats and pipe bombs were sent to major newsrooms. Threats against election workers are on the rise. And, of course, the insurrection on January 6, 2021 was political violence on a grand scale. After the quick and decisive crackdown on those involved in the fighting at the Capitol, many experts, including academics, law enforcement officers, and astute observers have predicted that large group, organized violence like we saw on January 6 was less likely in the near future. Instead, we should brace ourselves for lone acts of violence—like assassinations. What’s Next As I often say on television or radio when asked, historians are notoriously terrible future predictors, so I will make no wager about what comes next. But based on historical precedents, I see a few possible outcomes. The assassination attempt on Theodore Roosevelt did little to change the 1912 election. He continued his campaign but came in second. Roosevelt was still quite popular when he decided to mount a third party campaign and perhaps the assassination attempt increased that popularity, but not enough to affect the electoral college outcome. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/94bd97c9-feca-44f1-b328-43bc37a25879/July3.jpg Blog -

She then went on to receive her medical degree and became the first woman in the world to be certified as an ambulance surgeon and secure a surgical residency. While completing her degrees, she endured harassment, unfair assignments, and near-impossible scheduling. When World War I broke out, she helped raise money to send ambulances to the western front in Europe. She also served as the co-chair of the War Service Committee of the Medical Women’s National Association, which provided medical care to soldiers during the war and citizens in the post-war years. . https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/spot-of-parchment-august-2020 monthly 0.5 2020-08-22 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1597610208100-DROG76FAB9K5Q8CL29WP/president%27s+house+philadelphia Blog - Spot of Parchment, August 2020 - John Adams’s Presidential Precedent https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/spot-of-parchment-july-2020 monthly 0.5 2020-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1594925450269-SQD7TSG3VK0WYIX3L7NJ/louisiana+purchase.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, July 2020 - Thomas Jefferson’s Cabinet - Curiously absent from this conversation was any talk of a constitutional amendment. As soon as Jefferson had received word of the pending treaty, he began drafting a potential amendment. He believed that the Constitution, as written, did not permit the president to unilaterally add territory to the nation. Sometime in the first week of July, he drafted an amendment and circulated it to the department secretaries for their consideration. Secretary of State James Madison provided a few edits, but the others proved to be less enthusiastic. Secretary of the Treasury Albert Gallatin wrote, “The amendment to the Constitution is intended, I presume, for deliberation & reflection, but not for immediate decision,” which was a pretty clever way of telling Jefferson to pump the brakes. Secretary of the Navy Robert Smith was more direct: “I am greatly pleased with the ideas suggested in the proposed amendment of the Constitution and I sincerely hope that they will be adopted by the legislature of the Union. But I am rather inclined to think that they ought not all to be ingrafted upon the Constitution.” https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1594925519326-9AVEC4U54P3OY3GHA4D5/9309.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, July 2020 - Thomas Jefferson’s Cabinet Peter Waddell for the White House Historical Association https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/spot-of-parchment-june-2020 monthly 0.5 2020-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1594925307803-RH4GSURGMZI9RWMJD24S/emancipation_print_by_thomas_nast_-_library_of_congress.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, June 2020 - Juneteenth https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1594925330412-2P8QHMJSQ37FYGV6INU6/emancipationdaycelebration.0.0.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, June 2020 - Juneteenth https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/fathers-day-book-recommendations monthly 0.5 2020-06-01 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1591026249100-YBYOM1HTIEW6N2XWRUZ6/alaric+the+goth.jpg Blog - Father’s Day Book Recommendations - Is your dad a fan of ancient civilizations and the Roman Empire? Perhaps Gladiator or 300 is on his list of top movies? Consider Alaric The Goth: An Outsider’s History to the Fall of Rome by Douglas Boin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1591026316138-UV8DZQX6C8VW1XSM4HM5/searching+for+black+confederates.jpg Blog - Father’s Day Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1591027155876-H707Q2747XGEQESC67S8/false+cause.jpg Blog - Father’s Day Book Recommendations https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1591026422526-4MQ55L8HE0NWR6M27ZCW/destiny+of+the+republic.jpg Blog - Father’s Day Book Recommendations - 3. Is your dad a fan of presidential history? That’s ok, lots of people of are! Perhaps he’s read about Washington, Jefferson, Lincoln, FDR - basically all the really famous guys and is looking for something different? Consider Destiny of the Republic: A Tale of Madness, Medicine, and the Murder of a President by Candace Millard. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1591026544978-FT6BS4EDTIMUUPSUCAQS/boston+massacre.jpg Blog - Father’s Day Book Recommendations - 4. Is your dad an American Revolution buff? The Boston Massacre is in every textbook and every course on the run up to the Revolution, but my guess is your dad would learn a lot from The Boston Massacre: A Family History by Serena Zabin. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1591026599739-V59H3NT96M401RB4BETP/Cabinet+Cover.jpg Blog - Father’s Day Book Recommendations - 5. I would be remiss if I did a list of books for Father’s Day and didn’t include mine. The Cabinet: George Washington and the Creation of an American Institution explores how Washington created the cabinet when faced with diplomatic and domestic crises. My hope is that your dad would learn a lot about a very public, but often-overlooked institution and why it’s so important. If you buy a copy and would like a personalized book plate for your dad, email me (drlindsaychervinsky [at] gmail [dot] com) by June 14 to get it by Father’s Day! https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1591026856125-UAEUIT34UCEGJL4M63Z1/sword+and+the+shield.jpg Blog - Father’s Day Book Recommendations - 6. While protesters march across the country, perhaps your dad would like to read about two very influential, very different leaders of the Civil Rights Movement? The Sword and the Shield: The Revolutionary Lives of Malcolm X and Martin Luther King, Jr. by Peniel Joseph is a good choice. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1591026914722-ZPY519MFGY7X3T1GUEUL/dday+girls.jpg Blog - Father’s Day Book Recommendations - 7. Is your dad a fan of James Bond and spy craft? The Special Operations Executive (SOE) inspired the Bond books and movies, but it also sent in a crew of 40 women who parachuted behind enemy lines to help arm and organize the resistance. The D-Day Girls: The Spies Who Armed the Resistance, Sabotaged the Nazis, and Helped Win World War II by Sarah Rose tells this remarkable story.. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1591026970686-YUZUUH91WB6U8UAIBCNC/how+the+south.jpg Blog - Father’s Day Book Recommendations - 8. Is your dad curious about this current political moment and looking for an accessible read that will explain the trajectory of political power and the political parties? How the South Won the Civil War by Heather Cox Richardson has helped me understand the role of power, money, and oligarchy in this country. Richardson also does a great job showing how these movements rise and fall, and the parallels in historic moments. https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/spot-of-parchment-may-2020 monthly 0.5 2020-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1589394716319-MBOIW1G9HD6XEJP0Q22B/orig_531217_2353.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, May 2020 - Characteristics of Great Leadership Courtesy of the Dwight D.

After a fitful night’s sleep, he woke up before the sun and penned this note, just in case D-Day went horribly awry: “Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that Bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.” "In Case of Failure" Message Drafted by General Dwight Eisenhower in Case the D-Day Invasion Failed; 6/5/1944; Principal Files, 1916 - 1952; Collection DDE-EPRE: Eisenhower, Dwight D: Papers, Pre-Presidential; Dwight D.

In late February, Lincoln appointed Ulysses S. Grant to the rank of Lieutenant General. The last person to hold that position was George Washington in 1798. (Winfield Scott had been given the honorary title with “brevet” in front of it, but out of respect only, he did not occupy the position) Congress confirmed Grant’s appointment on March 2, 1864. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1589395052254-6OSS1P7IOZ1SY7WQ2G6K/503.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, May 2020 - Characteristics of Great Leadership Alfred Waud, White House Collection/White House Historical Association https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1589395109212-ZHKXHLJLNBCE8RX6T9UO/washington+appointed+commander+in+chief.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, May 2020 - Characteristics of Great Leadership https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1589395159527-ANDNF78EL7WYF1QTK2EN/General_George_Washington_Resigning_his_Commission.png Blog - Spot of Parchment, May 2020 - Characteristics of Great Leadership https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/spot-of-parchment-april-2020 monthly 0.5 2020-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1587333368329-27K5XB11X7MGIHYLU8OD/Arch_Street_Ferry%2C_Philadelphia_%2819753350096%29.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, April 2020 - 1793 Yellow Fever Outbreak https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1587333401395-N438IC13W42BML4DD3D5/jefferson%27s+house+on+the+schuylkill.png Blog - Spot of Parchment, April 2020 - 1793 Yellow Fever Outbreak https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/spot-of-parchment-march-2020 monthly 0.5 2020-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585499270807-NK1QMI92ZEMJO07EYV1J/Federal+Hall.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, March 2020 - Introduction to The Cabinet https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/spot-of-parchment-february-2020 monthly 0.5 2020-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585499090821-9K01R41KELDKC9P2S57H/brumwell.jpeg Blog - Spot of Parchment, February 2020 - Presidents’ Day Book Recommendations - As a Washington historian, it’s no surprise that people often ask me for my favorite Washington book. It’s really hard to cover his entire life, in depth, in one book. But George Washington: Gentleman Warrior by Stephen Brumwell is my favorite about the war years. The writing is clear, the evidence is solid, and he doesn’t over-dramatize. That’s my biggest Washington pet-peeve. His life was interesting enough without any additional flourishes. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585499120882-NFERNGNPSW44HNGEPNT0/hemingses.jpeg Blog - Spot of Parchment, February 2020 - Presidents’ Day Book Recommendations - I’m not being hyperbolic when I say that this book changed everything for me in graduate school. The Hemingses of Monticello by Annette Gordon-Reed tells the story of Sally Hemings and her extended family. Gordon-Reed was the first to prove in a book that Hemings and Jefferson did indeed have a decades-long relationship and produced several children together. Of course, his family knew, but Gordon-Reed really made it a public issue. It won every award imaginable and continues to stand the test of time. Gordon-Reed is a lawyer by training and lays out an argument so persuasively, it will blow your mind. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585499150292-G1JS1CSWAYNLK106ABKM/problem-of-democracy.jpeg Blog - Spot of Parchment, February 2020 - Presidents’ Day Book Recommendations - The Problem of Democracy by Nancy Isenberg and Andrew Burstein is the best book I’ve read in the last year. The writing is superb and incredibly funny. They examine the Presidents Adams in a unique way from all other scholarship I’ve seen. They also do an amazing job demonstrating how the current political moment would have terrified and infuriated the Adams – and what they would have said about it in their own colorful language. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585499173041-JVJIGHPI9V8FLHRCLVTY/lincolns-code.jpeg Blog - Spot of Parchment, February 2020 - Presidents’ Day Book Recommendations - Lincoln’s Code by John Fabian Witt examines how Lincoln waged war within the broader American context – tying it back to Washington and forward to modern day. It’s definitely more of a heady book, but worth reading to better understand the Civil War and the United States’ legal relationship to war. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585499206355-HILET7TQKYSSTGC5VITI/age-of-eisenhower.jpeg Blog - Spot of Parchment, February 2020 - Presidents’ Day Book Recommendations - This biography of Eisenhower by William Hitchcock is one of the best true biographies I’ve read. It covers his whole life, his legacy, and his presidency. It’s beautifully written, honest, and full of great information. I highly recommend it for those wanting to know more about an under-appreciated president. Did you know that just a few years after Eisenhower’s presidency he was ranked just above Buchanan as one of the worst presidents? Now he routinely ranks in the top five. Read this book to find out why. https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/spot-of-parchment-january-2020 monthly 0.5 2020-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585498850284-86G6CXPUFA0DR73IPBZV/edmond+charles+genet.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, January 2020 - The Neutrality Crisis - On this day (January 15) in 1794, President George Washington sent a message to the United States Senate and House of Representatives and forwarded them correspondence between Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson and French minister to the U.S. Edmond Charles Genêt. While Washington’s note was brief and straightforward, the attached correspondence was quite fiery. Nine months before, Genêt had arrived in the United States with the highest hopes for a Franco-American partnership. France had declared war on Great Britain in February 1793 and Genêt planned to purchase supplies for the war effort, sign up American soldiers and sailors to fight in the war, authorize privateers to pillage on behalf of the French navy, and launch an invasion of Spanish territory from American bases. These goals were ambitious and wildly at odds with Washington’s intentions to maintain American neutrality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585498813067-RLT4LPX0KP9AK5KJ6EOM/port-of-philadelphia.jpeg Blog - Spot of Parchment, January 2020 - The Neutrality Crisis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585498788130-C1KX64CWDIOYOKQ6KKRQ/genet_cornelia.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, January 2020 - The Neutrality Crisis - Washington received word later that month that France agreed to recall Genêt, which was a big moment for the president, the executive branch, and the country. France had agreed, at least tacitly, that Washington had the authority to determine American foreign policy and French foreign ministers had to abide by American rules. Ironically, Washington agreed to let the disgraced minister stay in the United States provided he cause no further trouble as an American citizen. Washington knew that sending Genêt back to France would almost certainly result in his execution during the Reign of Terror. Instead, Genêt moved to New York, married Cornelia Clinton (the daughter of Governor George Clinton) and lived out the rest of his days in relative obscurity. https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/spot-of-parchment-december-2019 monthly 0.5 2020-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585498598767-BJ18D6TFQZCBPD9EJ0HZ/aurora+office.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, December 2019 - Newspapers and Press in the Early Republic https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/spot-of-parchment-november-2019 monthly 0.5 2020-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585498449702-B0Y0SZCWTJ75YRGA91GX/society-of-cincinnati.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, November 2019 - President George Washington’s Business Practices - For example, he resigned from the presidency of the Society of the Cincinnati before attending the Constitutional Convention in 1787. The Society of Cincinnati was founded by General Henry Knox and other officers at the end of the war to preserve and share the values of the Revolution, and provide care for disabled veterans and their families. However, many citizens objected to its hereditary nature, which passed membership from military officers to their eldest son. While Washington deeply believed in the mission of the organization, he understood that the hereditary component stoked fears about a possible American aristocracy—just like the British aristocracy Americans had recently escaped. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585498479548-GZL6ZBN9AJ1Z9P3EVX8L/potomac-canal.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, November 2019 - President George Washington’s Business Practices Remains of the locks and the canal still exist in northern Virginia. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585498517472-8JIV5TT4A62OAO1XX6DG/george-washington-farming-3.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, November 2019 - President George Washington’s Business Practices George Washington at Mount Vernon.

Immediately after Lincoln’s assassination, Anna Surratt visited the White House and President Johnson to beg for clemency for her daughter, Mary. Mary was accused of conspiring with John Wilkes Booth to assassinate Lincoln and she had been sentenced to hang for her crimes. When President Johnson refused to see Anna, she banged on the front doors, crying, and begging him to reconsider. Since that time, guests, workers, and residents at the White House have heard Anna’s ghost banging on the front door and crying out for President Johnson. https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/spot-of-parchment-september-2019 monthly 0.5 2020-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585497667535-SB7EUXJ5ZAGEZN5SER7C/hercules+post+3.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, September 2019 - Hercules and the Lost Painting - It was long assumed that while Stuart painted Washington, he also painted the portrait of Hercules. The painting was likely identified as a Stuart creation to increase the value and identified as Hercules to further increase its import. But the painting had remained in private hands until 1983, so scholars and specialists never really had the opportunity to study it. By the 1980s, this interpretation of the painting and its identification had taken root. The image was used on several books about enslaved chefs and a copy hangs at the President’s House National Park Site in Philadelphia. All of that changed this year, when Gilbert Stuart specialists and historians finally had the opportunity to examine the painting. They uncovered three major problems with the painting. First, Dorinda Evans, a Gilbert Stuart scholar, said the painting’s techniques, style, and materials are inconsistent with Stuart’s other works. Second, chefs didn’t start wearing their famous white hats until the 1820s. Viewers had long assumed that this man was Hercules because he was wearing a white hat, but that didn’t track with fashion trends of the time. Additionally, Hercules was known for his fashionable garments, not a white uniform. Finally, this type of headdress was consistent with the ones worn by free Dominicans in the West Indies. Italian artist Agostino Brunias captured this style in his paintings, including this one. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585497626851-XJFESUC263AIURVYTFH7/hercules+post+2.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, September 2019 - Hercules and the Lost Painting The Chrystie Street African Burial Ground in 1852 (Dripps 1852) https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/spot-of-parchment-august-2019 monthly 0.5 2020-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585497453496-EB3W0L0VE0KVD6ZFTFYL/decatur+post+1.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, August 2019 - The Death of Stephen Decatur This photograph of Naval Commodore Stephen Decatur’s portrait by John Vanderlyn was taken on January 12, 2012 by Bruce White for the White House Historical Association.

It was the perfect home for a Secretary of State as it was elegant and tailor-made to host large gatherings. Located on the corner of Lafayette Square, Decatur House also offered an enviably-short commute to the White House and executive buildings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585496272434-328Y3FAIHPJM50BP2RP3/decatur+house+3.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, July 2019 - Charlotte Dupuy - Clay brought with him his white family members and his enslaved laborers to work in the home. Charlotte Dupuy (or Lotty in some records) moved into the slave quarters at the rear of the building with her husband Aaron and two children, Mary and Charles. In late 1828, Clay prepared to return to Kentucky after Adams had lost his bid for reelection. A long-time Jackson opponent, Clay knew he would receive no appointment in the new administration. Charlotte had other plans. On February 13, 1829, Charlotte filed a lawsuit for her freedom against Clay with the help of Robert Beale, a local attorney who seemed to specialize in freedom suits. Charlotte claimed that her former owner had freed her mother and promised to free her once she reached adulthood. Charlotte reasoned that under Maryland law, her mother’s free status should be passed down to her. Instead, her former owner sold her to Clay, who refused to honor the promise. The court permitted Charlotte to stay in D.C. while the case was considered and she remained at Decatur House working for wages for the next resident, Martin Van Buren, for the next year and a half. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585496232788-K0W1VWN7DOT8KUK3U6DT/decatur+house+4.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, July 2019 - Charlotte Dupuy https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/spot-of-parchment-june-2019 monthly 0.5 2020-08-16 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585496101659-MPVUKUTCLANP7W4DNKMM/gw.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, June 2019 - The Burning of the White House - On the morning of August 19, 1814, President James Madison received word that British forces had landed at the mouth of Patuxent River and were marching toward the White House. A few days later, he received a secret dispatch relaying the news that the British were approaching Washington. The next morning, he mounted his horse, Liberty, and rode out to join the American forces to witness the battle. When it became clear that the British were going to win the fight, and quite convincingly, Madison fled to avoid capture. Most people know what happened next. On the evening of August 24, the British marched toward Washington, D.C. and burned the White House, the Capital, and all other government buildings (except the First U.S. Patent Building) to retaliate for the American burning of York (now Toronto) in 1812. Dolley Madison, expecting a dinner party that evening, had ordered an exquisite table set for the company. When messengers brought her news of the American defeat, she left the meal on the table and had Paul Jennings pull down the famous George Washington from the wall. She took the portrait with her as she fled to safety, earning her praise from the American public for the next two centuries.

Washington, D.C. was not the bustling metropolis that it is today. Livestock still roamed freely, many streets were barely passable, and the small clusters of homes and businesses were separated by large swaths of forest and swamp. Reports filtered out of the capital that new arrivals sometimes got lost on their way from the White House to Congress. Many northerners were still bitter than the capital had moved from New York to Philadelphia and then from Philadelphia to D.C. They were eager to move the capital back up north. Similarly, many southerners were chomping at the bit to move it even farther south. Most preferred a more-established city that offered congressmen and other officials more diverse comforts and entertainment. James Madison and his successor, James Monroe, were committed to keeping the capital in D.C. It was close to their homes and they had money invested in real estate in the city. If the capital moved, they would see no return on those investments. They recognized that the sentimental value and the precedent embodied in the White House was their best bet for keeping the seat of government in place. But that presented a problem. That symbolic figure was in ruins. They hired James Hoban, the original architect of the White House, to conduct an assessment of the damage and propose a plan to rebuild the building. Hoban discovered that extent of the damage, but they all agreed to keep that news secret. It didn’t help Madison and Monroe’s goals and Hoban could use the business.

The story doesn’t have a completely sad ending though. Many of the more mature trees survived. As late as 1898, once of the special double peach blossom trees created by Ousely still stood outside the East entrance. In 1991, this tree, likely planted by Adams or Ousely in 1826, finally died. First Lady Barbara Bush planted a tree cultivated from its acorns the same year. Today, we think of the White House gardens as a space for leisure, celebrations, and commemorative events. Most presidents since Rutherford B. Hayes have planted trees to honor specific citizens, events, places, and more. The National Park Service marks the heritage of many trees on the grounds. Through his tree project, Adams pursued many of the same goals as modern caretakers of the grounds and demonstrated creativity and insight in his thinking about the role of the White House and its grounds. Finally, when we think about politicians and former presidents, we often talk about their political accomplishments and failures. We talk about warfare, diplomacy, and legislation. Sometimes we think about their families and their personalities. But not enough. They were people—complicated, flawed, funny, devious, and weird people. JQA was not just the serious face pictured in the famous photograph taken at the end of his life. Among his many flaws and strengths, he was intensely curious and intellectually rigorous. And he loved trees.

One of my favorite recent discoveries has been learning about First Lady Grace Coolidge. She absolutely loved animals of any kind, especially her dogs. Her official portrait, painted by Howard Chandler Christy in 1924, is my favorite of the first lady portraits. It featured her dog, Roy Rodgers, and is one of two first lady portraits with the White House in the background. Her other dog was named Prudence Prim (how delightful is that?). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585485757737-84DTH5563M48ZFWZR0JD/grace+coolidge+2.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, April 2019 - Grace Coolidge’s Portrait https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585485757748-PVLRRQB0PLYP5X6BA66Q/grace+coolidge+3.jpg Blog - Spot of Parchment, April 2019 - Grace Coolidge’s Portrait https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/how-to-maintain-forward-momentum-when-the-writing-is-stuck monthly 0.5 2020-03-29 https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/when-is-it-ok-to-just-know-omohundro-conference-part-ii monthly 0.5 2020-03-29 https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/bringing-wonder-back-into-my-historical-practice-omohundro-conference-part-i monthly 0.5 2020-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585485260532-XOBPXVMHP27V6FSOXO6F/jamestown+1.jpg Blog - Bringing Wonder Back into My Historical Practice (Omohundro Conference, Part I) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585485278438-ID0M78F0SJ21MBA29FKB/jamestown+2.jpg Blog - Bringing Wonder Back into My Historical Practice (Omohundro Conference, Part I) - Yet as I stood on the banks of the James River at the nerdiest possible party in the history of nerdy parties, I was struck by a sense of sheer wonder. This was the exact spot is where Anglo-American society took root in the Western hemisphere. And I was standing there. And it was really freaking cool. For better or worse, it was a giant moment in history. It is only one tiny part of the story that needs to be told and I’m aware of the major issues with celebrating this place. But I got to watch the sun set and see what it would have looked like 400 years ago (albeit with dental hygiene, bug spray, vaccines, the right to wear pants, and a woman with a Ph.D.). https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585485333989-A6QDT1HC3KO2DMYMME1E/jamestown+3.jpg Blog - Bringing Wonder Back into My Historical Practice (Omohundro Conference, Part I) https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585485350528-AHRS59S2U1GDWE56SDY8/jamestown+4.jpg Blog - Bringing Wonder Back into My Historical Practice (Omohundro Conference, Part I) https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/reflections-on-writing-part-ii monthly 0.5 2020-03-29 https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/reflections-on-writing-part-i monthly 0.5 2020-03-29 https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/historic-montreal-and-quebec-city monthly 0.5 2020-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585484535959-WBODNYPSMJU5VBPV4K0V/montreal+1.jpg Blog - Historic Montreal and Quebec City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585484552608-XXJG26LFQOUNFLSHVN88/montreal+2.jpg Blog - Historic Montreal and Quebec City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585484570837-Q20BW1ZH7WIKOCOAV7P2/montreal+3.jpg Blog - Historic Montreal and Quebec City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585484596903-P8B0ELPWVDEAYN5H9ICC/quebec+city.jpg Blog - Historic Montreal and Quebec City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585484624284-NJV3ZKZL0HTJ7WDM9KBE/quebec+city+citadelle.jpg Blog - Historic Montreal and Quebec City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585484650711-YSFUQ8ILQOT03N1RKEMR/citadelle+mascot.jpg Blog - Historic Montreal and Quebec City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585484945299-KSKHFM71RRIGKD9A3DHW/montreal+7.jpg Blog - Historic Montreal and Quebec City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585484944648-CS3AHEA2TEA3XZFL9Y3N/montreal+8.jpg Blog - Historic Montreal and Quebec City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585484866594-3AYOPZCBZNHDSZMTC70E/quebec+city+holiday+decorations.jpg Blog - Historic Montreal and Quebec City https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585484807402-PYA5M0HT0YT7OP18BL7H/montreal+poutine.jpg Blog - Historic Montreal and Quebec City https://www.lindsaychervinsky.com/blog/on-this-day-in-cabinet-history-december-31-1793 monthly 0.5 2020-03-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585483873504-PP9GYAGP5U02O8G8280S/TJ+portait.jpg Blog - On This Day in Cabinet History: December 31, 1793 - First, Jefferson’s retirement left the cabinet in new political territory. As the new Secretary of State, Edmund Randolph did he best to evaluate matters impartially, sometimes favoring the Federalist position, sometimes selecting the Republican position. The remaining secretaries, and the new Attorney General William Bradford, were ardent Federalists. Furthermore, President George Washington recognized the polarization of society and resented the partisan criticism leveled at his administration. In future appointments, Washington refused to consider any nominees that did not support the government. When considering candidates for Attorney General in October 1795, he expressed his approval for names that had been ” a steady friend to the general government since it has been in operation.” [1] Future presidents followed Washington’s example and only appointed secretaries from their own party. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585483911144-EHX21QF1GS8B2TXF5TEJ/edmund+randolph.jpg Blog - On This Day in Cabinet History: December 31, 1793 - Second, with Jefferson gone, the individuals in Washington’s cabinet took on different roles. Edmund Randolph became the new Secretary of State and assumed a larger position in cabinet deliberations. As Secretary of State, Randolph naturally took on more responsibility within the administration, but Washington also increasingly turned to his long-time friend for advice. After Knox retired in December 1794 and Hamilton followed in January 1795, Randolph was the only remaining secretary from the beginning of Washington’s presidency. Washington clearly trusted Randolph more than the replacement secretaries and included him in private deliberations. In early 1795, Washington received the Jay Treaty (a new commercial treaty with Great Britain negotiated by Supreme Court Justice John Jay). After the Senate ratified the treaty, Washington agonized over whether to sign it himself. He initially shared the contents of the treaty with Randolph, but none of the other secretaries.

In April 1793, Washington had declared that the United States would remain neutral in the war between France and Great Britain. As part of its efforts to stay out of the conflict, the administration had prohibited foreign nations from arming privateers in American harbors. Privateers were privately owned ships armed and outfitted to attack enemy nations. Ignoring numerous warnings from Secretary of State Thomas Jefferson, Genêt spent the summer arming and authoring privateers to fight on behalf of the French. The final straw came in July when Genêt threatened to go above the president’s head and appeal directly to the people and Congress to support the French cause [2]. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5e7eb1542708f708957fe3cf/1585441178574-64VWVQGU70DZBD3VNWQJ/meeting+with+genet.jpg Blog - On This Day in Cabinet History, August 1, 1793 - Third, although stated less bluntly, the Citizen Genêt affair confirmed the president’s supremacy in diplomacy. When Genêt threatened to appeal to the people, Jefferson corrected Genêt and explained how the U.S. Constitution worked: “the Executive, Legislative & Judiciary, each of which were supreme in all questions belonging to their department & independent of the others: that all the questions which had arisen between him & us belonged to the Executive department” [4]. Jefferson then went on to say that the executive was supreme in executing the laws and treaties. Although Jefferson has been used to embody the small government and weak executive position, this statement suggests otherwise. Washington, Hamilton, Knox, and Randolph agreed that diplomatic relations should remain under the purview of the president.
