‘Even George Washington would be hard-pressed to write an appeal to modern Canada — the land of universal health care… gun control and superior life expectancy — that could persuade it to unite with its southern neighbor.’ By @stacyschiff nytimes.com/2025/03/30/opi…

“But how to design a national executive for a people who had jettisoned a king? The Articles of Confederation provided for no such individual,” says @stacyschiff about the bewilderment of America’s founding fathers over the question of a presidency. Read: nyti.ms/4g42Cag

Many historians of America's founding era try to make the events of the 1770s and 1780s speak to our contemporary crises - but nobody does it better than the great @stacyschiff. And as always Ms Schiff's prose style is exquisite. nytimes.com/2024/08/01/opi…
Stacy Schiff retweeted
Illuminating & entertaining @stacyschiff essay on the divided & confused Constitutional framers fears in 1787 of citizens being such dopes and (in their words) “dupes of pretend patriots” and “rogues,” that the U.S. would “end in a monarchy.” Gift link: nytimes.com/2024/08/01/opi…

He outmaneuvered British spies, French informers & hostile colleagues. No this isn't a James Bond storyline; it's @stacyschiff's account of how Benjamin Franklin secured the Treaty of Paris. Read the book before streaming @AppleTV's new #Franklin series. apple.co/AGI

As #Congress nears climactic vote on aid to #Ukraine, a compelling case in favor is this exceptionally well-written @NYTimesOpEd by @stacyschiff. Vivid + relevant historical parallels to #France’s help for an #America in dire need. nytimes.com/2024/04/07/opi…

Congress is again debating the entanglement of a young republic “with a wealthy benefactor,” writes @stacyschiff. “It pays to remember that the United States itself was,” she says, “once the infant republic in dire need of munitions.” Read: nyti.ms/4aoOk1U
