Thou reproachest us, very inappropriately, that our country is a little hell in contrast with France, which thou comparest to a terrestrial paradise, inasmuch as it yields thee, so thou safest, every kind of provision in abundance. Thou sayest of us also that we are the most miserable and most unhappy of all men, living without religion, without manners, without honour, without social order, and, in a word, without any rules, like the beasts in our woods and our forests, lacking bread, wine, and a thousand other comforts which thou hast in superfluity in Europe. –"Your People Live Only Upon Cod: A Micmac Responds to the French” The excerpt is a response to the French insistence that native people "reform” and adopt European ways of life, recorded by French priest Chrestian LeClerq. The Algonquian speaker exemplifies which response to colonization? Attempts to civilize native peoples were misplaced, as they relied on a narrow and Eurocentric definition of “civilization.” While slow and difficult, a transition from traditional ways of life to more European-influenced ways of life would ultimately benefit native peoples in the long run. The resistance of native populations to adopt European-influenced ways of life was the result of fear and uncertainty. Native populations would be happier if they adopted European-influenced ways of life.

during the debate over his landmark energy policy proposal, president jimmy carter failed to consult one of the most powerful senators, louisiana’s russell long, who would have a big say over whether the legislation moved through the upper chamber. this was classic carter. with a strong distaste for congressional politics, the president simply refused to do what most other presidents would consider routine, such as courting key senators. long became so irate with the president that when he was finally invited to a white house dinner, he stood up to ask a question and, before doing so, proceeded to sarcastically introduce himself: “i’m russell long, chairman of the senate finance committee.”

this interaction is a revealing moment in stuart e. eizenstat’s fascinating new history of carter’s presidency. the former peanut farmer from georgia was a president who, according to conventional wisdom, didn’t care much for party politics; nonetheless, in eizenstat’s view, carter’s legacy on domestic and foreign policy has been vastly underappreciated. the author paints carter as a “bold and determined” leader who bravely attacked the challenges of his time. eizenstat goes so far as to argue that carter might very well be the most successful one-term president in american history.
