Unwritten History of Blaine Era in State Department
A Chicago Tribune piece alleges a hidden history behind Blaine’s push for aggressive South American policy. It claims Blaine sought a bold, warlike shift to expand U S influence with railroad and shipping contracts backed by financiers, using Landreau as a pretext and Trescott and Blaine as covert emissaries, only to be thwarted when President Arthur halted the scheme.
