Breckinridge Long was a controversial figure in American history, serving as the Assistant Secretary of State during World War II. Known for his isolationist views and anti-Semitic beliefs, Long played a significant role in shaping US immigration policy during this tumultuous time. His policies were criticized for their strict quotas and refusal to admit refugees fleeing persecution in Europe. Long's actions have been widely condemned by historians and scholars, who argue that his policies contributed to the deaths of countless innocent people who were denied entry into the United States. Despite this dark legacy, Long remains an important figure in understanding the complexities of American foreign policy and attitudes towards immigration during one of the darkest periods in modern history, and is crucial to remember figures like Breckinridge Long so that we can learn from past mistakes and strive towards creating a more inclusive and compassionate society. The lessons of history should not be forgotten, especially when they involve individuals whose actions had such devastating consequences on human lives.
