Description
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.
