Excerpt from The United States of America, Vol. 4 of 5: A Pictorial History of the American Nation From the Earliest Discoveries and Settlements to the Present Time That portion of the history of the United States which has developed since 1870 may be properly termed the commercial period. Prior to that date the people were occupied in exploration and discovery, the establishment of permanent homes, methods of government, and the great questions that precipitated the struggle between sections, known as the Civil War. With the termination of that struggle the people of the common Union began to realize the great commercial possibilities of their country - a country whose area, including Alaska, added in 1867, was practically.equal to that of all Europe. When the Civil War began in 1861, comparatively little was known about the great section lying west of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. A few railroads had stretched as far west as the Mississippi River, and a small number of enterprising lines had found their way across that stream and were feeling their way into the then thinly populated section west of the Mississippi. The railroads of the United States in i 860 aggregated but 30,000 miles in length, or about one-seventh as much as to-day, and the cost of transporting a bushel of wheat from Chicago to New York was about five times as great as at the present time. As a consequence, millions of acres of fine agricultural lands in the interior were unoccupied, or utilized only for grazing purposes. The importance of the development of these great interior sections and of a connection of the western with the eastern coast had been realized during the years of the Civil War, and as a result of legislation begun in 1863 and consummated in 1864, the Union and Central Pacific railroads were begun and the work completed in 1869, thus giving to the country in that year a single transcontinental line. Other lines in the interior, which soon followed, gave opportunity for the gradual development of the producing power of that great section of the country which had been practically unoccupied and a part of which had been formerly designated as "The Great American Desert."

Beneath The United States written by Lars Schoultz and has been published by Harvard University Press this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1998-06-15 with Political Science categories.
In this sweeping history of United States policy toward Latin America, Lars Schoultz shows that the United States has always perceived Latin America as a fundamentally inferior neighbor, unable to manage its affairs and stubbornly underdeveloped. This perception of inferiority was apparent from the beginning. John Quincy Adams, who first established diplomatic relations with Latin America, believed that Hispanics were "lazy, dirty, nasty...a parcel of hogs." In the early nineteenth century, ex-President John Adams declared that any effort to implant democracy in Latin America was "as absurd as similar plans would be to establish democracies among the birds, beasts, and fishes." Drawing on extraordinarily rich archival sources, Schoultz, one of the country's foremost Latin America scholars, shows how these core beliefs have not changed for two centuries. We have combined self-interest with a "civilizing mission"--a self-abnegating effort by a superior people to help a substandard civilization overcome its defects. William Howard Taft felt the way to accomplish this task was "to knock their heads together until they should maintain peace," while in 1959 CIA Director Allen Dulles warned that "the new Cuban officials had to be treated more or less like children." Schoultz shows that the policies pursued reflected these deeply held convictions. While political correctness censors the expression of such sentiments today, the actions of the United States continue to assume the political and cultural inferiority of Latin America. Schoultz demonstrates that not until the United States perceives its southern neighbors as equals can it anticipate a constructive hemispheric alliance.
