Socialism at the Edges of Civilization
In 1877 after years of labor organizing in Europe, Louis Pio, the founder of the Danish Social Democratic Party, fled to America to escape persecution. In the United States, Pio attempted to establish a socialist commune, proposed a socialist third-party initiative, published a socialist newspaper in Chicago, involved himself in the Knights of Labor, and supported Edward Bellamy's movement to nationalize production. Throughout his life, however, …
Civil War Settlers
Civil War Settlers is the first comprehensive analysis of Scandinavian Americans and their participation in the US Civil War. Based on thousands of sources in multiple languages, that have to date been inaccessible to most US historians, Anders Bo Rasmussen brings the untold story of Scandinavian American immigrants to life by focusing on their lived community experience and positioning it within the larger context of western settler colonialism.…
The Impressment of Foreign-Born Soldiers in the Union Army
In 1862–1863 well over one thousand foreign-born men living in the United States argued that they had been illegally drafted into Union military service. Fearing a diplomatic row, the Lincoln administration sought to clarify the rules of draft eligibility and its relation to citizenship. William Seward, secretary of state, determined to include in the pool of potential draftees men who had filed their declaration of intent to become American citi…
Keri Leigh Merritt's Masterless Men
outlines most effectively the dynamics between yesterday and tomorrow, and this complex analytical prism helps grapple with the current cultural and political climate in the United States
Drawn Together in a Blood Brotherhood
The American Civil War, 1861-1865, broke out during a time of intense debate over slavery and fear of foreign-born influence on American society. The war’s outbreak, however, provided both freedmen and immigrants an opportunity to prove their loyalty to the United States. Scandinavian Americans, among other ethnic groups, seized the opportunity. This article argues that the Scandinavian elite implicitly constructed at least three different forms …
Two new denarius hoards from the island of Lolland
Since 2009, a number of Roman denarii from the 1st, 2nd and 3rd centuries AD have been discovered on the Danish island of Lolland. Among them, two denarius hoards contained, respectively, approximately 110 and 46 coins. Previously, only few imported objects from the Late Roman Iron Age were known from Lolland, in stark contrast to the large amount of imported prestigious artefacts from the preceding Early Roman Iron Age. These denarius finds shed…
The Danish St Croix Project
Working from previously unknown sources in Danish archives, this article establishes for the first time the important role that the island of St Croix played in the Lincoln administration's considerations on colonizing African Americans abroad. This article argues that U.S. Secretary of State William H. Seward, commonly viewed as an anti-colonizationist, was at least a mild proponent of colonization in its earliest stages. The article demonstrate…
Educational Exchange as a Cold War Weapon
American President Harry S. Truman called the Cold War a “struggle for the minds of men,” and assigned journalists an important role in the conflict. The American administration’s strategy was to influence young people and opinion leaders in countries deemed important during the Cold War in the hope that their views would trickle down to the broader population. This article analyzes transnational flows of people and knowledge between the United S…
