Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Selections From the Writings of the Late Thomas Hedges Genin: With a Biographical Sketch There have been two and a-half centuries of American history. The remote historian - going over the annals of this period with that judicial temper which only distance in time from its conflicts, prejudices and passions, makes possible - will recognize therein three Epochs, whereof the conspicuous events are, the Plymouth Settlement; the Declaration of Independence; and the Emancipation Proclamation. To the first Epoch belong the names of Robinson, Carver, Standish and their peers: their work was the establishment of the Puritan Commonwealth of Massachusetts. To the second belong the names of Adams, Hancock, Jefferson, Washington and their peers: their work was the making of a new Ration, nominally, and, in many particulars, actually founded on the principle of Liberty and Human Equality before the Law. To the third belong the names of Lundy, Garrison, Lincoln, Grant and their peers: their work was to make Actual the Ideal given in the Declaration of Independence, involving, through the War of Rebellion, the Abolition of Slavery, and the recognition of the Civil and Political Rights of men regardless of distinctions of race or color. The multitude of events - the conflicts, heroic deeds, warring of parties, and, in the average result, triumphs of right over wrong - which make the bulk of our strange history, all group themselves under, and serve to exemplify one or another of these Three Epochs.
