Wilson's white supremacist historical writings are well-known, though they should be understood as part of the dominant narrative of the time.

"The white men of the South were aroused by the mere instinct of self-preservation to rid themselves, by fair means or foul, of the intolerable burden of governments sustained by the votes of ignorant negroes and conducted in the interest of adventurers; governments whose incredible debts were incurred that thieves might be enriched, whose increasing loans and taxes went to no public use but into the pockets of party managers and corrupt contractors."

However, probably because of the authorship disputes, JFK's awful writings in Profiles in Courage have gotten far less scrutiny.

"All were touched, yes, by his message; but stunned, too, by its impact for Lucius Lamar of Mississippi was appealing in the name of the South's most implacable enemy, the Radical Republican who had helped make the Reconstruction Period a black nightmare the South never could forget: Charles Sumner of Massachusetts. Charles Sumner—who assailed Daniel Webster as a traitor for seeking to keep the South in the Union—who helped crucify Edmund Ross for his vote against the Congressional mob rule that would have ground the South and the Presidency under its heel..."

In his defense, JFK was also merely following the consensus of his time, but to serve in Sumner's seat and calumniate him like this is so disgusting to me.

The 1986 law did not automatically apply to the spouses or children of newly-legalized immigrants, which meant families across the country were vulnerable to being split based on differences in legal status.

After Congress failed to pass a bill to reduce family disruptions, Reagan drew upon his executive authority to do so on his own. On October 21, 1987, Immigration and Naturalization Service (INS) Commissioner Alan C. Nelson used executive action to legalize the status of minor children of parents granted amnesty under the immigration overhaul benefited an estimated 100,000 families.

On January 20, 1980, Carter demanded that the Soviet Union withdraw its troops from Afghanistan within one month, or otherwise it would lead a boycott the Summer Olympics in Moscow.

The USSR refused, so Carter organized a boycott including 80 countries.

This led to the Soviet Union boycotting the 1984 Olympics in Los Angeles.

In his later years, Carter expressed regret over his role in the debacle, calling it a “bad decision”. He stated that this unfairly hurt thousands of innocents athletes who had nothing to do with the conflict, and that it didn’t improve the situation in Afghanistan.

Congratulations to u/Aarntson and u/Jolly_Job_9852 who tied for the winning suggestions for John Tyler, and thank you for everyone who participated. Now I am asking what is a random song what somehow fits James K. Polk.

Note: Jimmy Polk of Tennessee is not considered random in this context, and as such, is disqualified from consideration.

Last post, William McKinley was deemed to have already been a vampire the whole time.

For the sake of consistency, this is presuming Dracula à la Bram Stoker type Vampires, with their respective strengths and weaknesses.

Savarkar had sent a cablegram to the US President Roosevelt on 23rd April 1939, advocating India’s freedom from the British imperialist rule: "If your note to Hitler actuated by disinterested human anxiety for safeguarding Freedom and Democracy from Military Aggression, pray ask Britain too to withdraw her armed domination over Hindusthan and let her have free and self-determined Constitution. Great nation like Hindusthan can surely claim at least as much international Justice as small nations do."

But, it was likely shelved by the State Department, because Savarkar never got a response back.

Look, elections are open season when it comes to attack ads and distortions, and Dukakis should have been prepared for that.

That being said, the Atwater scheme of hammering away at Dukakis on one tragedy over and over again was truly a scummy thing to do.

Rather than talk about actual issues or policy points, HW Bush maligned Dukakis as a soft on crime, wimpy, radical liberal. He used the word “liberal” practically as a derogatory slur, and the election became a contest based on purely a distorted view of Dukakis’ views, rather than what he actually believed.
