  • Summary

  • Relations between the United States and China are growing worse. The origins of that discord can be traced back to the 1830s and adventurers like Warren Delano. The beloved grandfather of Franklin Delano Roosevelt went to Canton to trade fur pelts for tea but soon found himself at the center of the opium trade, helping to provoke a bitterness that remains today.
