Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Alexander Hamilton: An Essay In offering to the public a second edition of my book on Hamilton a word or two may not be out of place on the bearing of his ideas of statecraft on our present national problems. Hamilton believed in a strong military organization. He knew, that which it has taken the European war to teach us, - that our national sovereignty is secure only if we are prepared and able to defend it by force. In this world of nations with conflicting rights and ambitions "a nation, despicable by its weakness," he said in the Federalist "forfeits even the privilege of being neutral." Hamilton advocated a vigorous foreign policy which would protect American unity and honor both within our own borders and on the high seas. In his day, as in ours, the hyphenated citizen was a menace. His words to King in 1796 sound strangely modern. "We," he said, "are laboring hard to establish in this country principles more and more national and free from all foreign ingredients, so that we may be neither ´Greeks nor Trojans,´ but truly Americans." In his day, as in ours, American commerce suffered at the hands of warring nations who on the plea of military necessity disregarded the principles of public law.
