Outrages at Jaffa
On January 11, 1858, the Jaffa Colonists - part of the American Agricultural Mission to assist local residents in agricultural endeavors in Ottoman Palestine - were brutally attacked, creating an international incident at the beginnings of U.S. presence in the Levant.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.shapell.org/manuscript.aspx?1858-senate-report-outrage-at-jaffa-american-dickson-colony )〕 The event, known as the Outrages at Jaffa, tested American colonial resolve in the region, as well as the ability of the U.S. Government to protect its citizens in the region.〔
==Background==
The beginnings of U.S. presence in the Levant started in the 1800s with the appointment of Warder Cresson as Consul at Jerusalem, though by the time he reached the Holy Land, his appointment had been rescinded.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.haaretz.com/jewish-world/jewish-world-features/.premium-1.532706 )〕 In 1855, American Clorinda Minor established the Mount Hope Colony near Jaffa. These colonists were motivated by the belief that a prerequisite for the Second Coming of the Messiah was the establishment of Jewish rule in the Holy Land.〔http://www.haaretz.com/print-edition/features/the-mountain-of-despair-1.273560〕 The American Christians were joined by German colonists as well. Two of the families - the American Dicksons and the Prussian Steinbecks - were related by marriage.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.findagrave.com/cgi-bin/fg.cgi?page=cr&GRid=68708167&CRid=2398857& )〕 After Clorinda Minor's death, some of the community abandoned the colony. The colonists were continually harassed by the Bedouin and Arab population〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.shapell.org/exhibitions.aspx?dreamland-american-travelers-to-the-holy-land )〕 and suffered from outbreaks of malaria.
