Reciting Reciprocity Tales from Blaine and Grant
A long extract outlines 19th century reciprocity efforts between the United States and Latin American nations. It recounts treaties with Mexico and Spain, failed senatorial actions, the hat smashing episode involving Secretary Blaine, and the push to expand exports. It notes commissions, conferences, and the growth of US trade under reciprocity, with figures on exports, imports, and post routes.
