Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from An Oration on the Rise and Progress of the United States of America, to the Present Crisis, and on the Duties of the Citizens After the peace of seventeen hundred and sixty-three, the British ministry proposed to raise a revenue by act of Parliament, from their American colonies. The sum, which, in this manner, they determined to raise, was indeed small, and not equal to the hazard of a revolution, or the expence of a war; but the people of America saw that a violation of principle ought to be resisted in the first instance, and at all hazards; and that, if they once yielded to extortion, there would be no end of demands; and if they once abandoned their right of self-government, there would be no restraint on oppression. Resistance, war, and a revolution ensued. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
