      2. I hope @karpmj new book "This Vast Southern Empire: Slaveholders at the Helm of American Foreign Policy" opens a wider debate in IR

      3. What Karp shows is that slaveholding class (and their vision of the world) dominated USA foreign policy in antebellum America.

      4. Karp's book can usefully be read with Robert Vitalis' White World Order, Black Power Politics: The Birth of USA International Relations

      5. One great tidbit from Vitalis book is that Foreign Affairs was originally titled Journal of Race Development.

      6. The racism of Kennan and Acheson are well known (or should be). Kennan in 1930s said ideally only white men should have the vote.

          But you're probably thinking of someone named Vorster.

          9. The plantation that the Dulles Bros. grew up on was one of biggest in USA & formed research basis for Herb Gutman's work on slave family

          10. When you think about it, makes sense that those possessing master class hauteur in racist society would take charge of foreign policy

          Nonsense. Dulles brothers were raised and schooled inWatertown NY, near the Canadian border.

          Dulles sympathized with Nazis of the business elite that were "his kind." Saved genocidal monsters through rat lines. Immoral shit
