Well, it's a retreat. I mean, it's specifically more in the League and the League of Nations. Well, we might lose some sovereignty if we go in this league with these people we don't particularly know about, Clemenceau from France, Lloyd George, or various English leaders.

Well, we're not quite so sure, even though we were sure we wanted to, most of us, that we want to intervene in Europe during the war. Well, do we want to be surrendering sovereignty of the United States in this period.

It's important to note that Coolidge, for example, did support some international groups, some international treaties that he backed his Secretary of State, Kellogg, in the Kellogg-Briand Pact outlawing war. That's roundly mocked in graduate students' classes today, but I think that's up for revision too. The Pact to End War, the Kellogg-Briand Pact. And that was a Coolidge adventure.

He said, does this really damage our sovereignty? No, it doesn't. Okay, I'm for it. Coolidge had a streak of Woodrow Wilson in him, I will say, the Protestant minister. And there's more to compare than the textbooks would suggest, more similarities between Woodrow and Calvin.

Yeah. I mean, you say he was a very shy president. Well, President Obama was a very shy president. There's no such thing as a truly shy president. Otherwise, they wouldn't get to president. It's just impossible not to work with men and women in order to get to this level of power in the United States. I would say Coolidge was an introvert, as many presidents are,

but not shy when he needed to be bold or when he needed to speak up, as in the Boston police strike. Not a shy move, not a compromising move. He didn't like to talk a lot.
