Like many of Jefferson’s ideas, this one had great merit but could not be enforced. The idea was to establish “trading houses” amongst the Indians which would operate on a NON PROFIT basis. However, fraud and corruption on the part of the managers of these trading houses in most cases left the Indians with far less than the fair market value of their goods and the “white” commodities were sold at inflated prices. Jefferson also believed in minimal government so he never set up any kind of audit mechanism or supervisory system of the “trading houses” and instead of helping the Indians often cheated them even more than private traders would.

American military leaders knew very little about China and our intelligence was almost non-existent. They assumed that he was under the control of Russia and Joseph Stalin when in fact, the Russians wanted to oust Mao for not following Stalin’s communist orthodoxy. They succeeded in firing him as head of the party and replacing him with a committee of more loyal communists. Not only did the US rebuff Mau’s outreach attempts, but American money and military material financed 6 different military campaigns by Chiang to exterminate Mao and his communists.
None succeeded as the vast majority of the peasants supported Mao and his troops and provided support and information in Chiang’s attempts. Some historians believe we “bet on the wrong horse”.
