Published widely for the first time in 1906 in the American Historical Review, but also in a newspaper in 1803, and in later pamphlets and essays.

It was likely von Steuben who recommended the young royal to Alexander Hamilton.New York Senator Rufus King later reported that the prince, to his credit, had told von Steuben, “the Americans had shown so much determination their old King, that they not readily submit to a new one.” In short order, delegates assembled in Philadelphia to find other means of stability. The Americans had a positive view of Prussia in general and Prince Henry in particular because of Friedrich von Steuben, a volunteer who fought at Valley Forge and a veteran of the prince’s own wars.

In modern times we’ve seen it, as well. It can be argued that presidential powers expanded under Lincoln during the Civil War and Woodrow Wilson during World War I, leading up to FDR.Crisis can often motivate people to seek out strong leadership and even surrender rights and liberties to attain it. It was a time of crisis, a failing new government, when the Founders attempted to recruit a king. Just as Franklin had predicted. However, the foundations for such an expansion of presidential powers had been laid all along the way.
