Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from What Shall We Do With Our Dependencies?: The Annual Address Before the Bar Association of South Carolina, Delivered in Columbia, January 16, 1903 Mr. President and Gentlemen of the South Carolina Bar: It was with peculiar pleasure that I received the invitation to address you this evening, not only because I felt it to be a high personal compliment, but because it afforded fresh evidence, if such were needed, of how entirely the differences that disturbed us a generation ago have ceased to divide us. When the secretary, the biographer, the disciple of Charles Sumner is called from Massachusetts to address the bar of South Carolina, it cannot be doubted that the cordial relations which formerly existed between our States are completely and, I believe, forever restored. If I can, I would carry you back to-night to those early days when our fathers stood shoulder to shoulder in "the times that tried men´s souls," and join with you in renewing their pledge to support those great truths which South Carolina and Massachusetts alike then held to be self-evident. The Present Position of our Dependencies. Our country to-day exercises absolute power over more than ten millions of human beings, - Filipinos, Porto Ricans, and Hawaiians, - twice as many as the whole population of the United States a century ago. Our dominion has been established without consulting them and against such resistance as they could make. They are not American citizens, nor are they likely to become such. They are governed by the President and Congress, but they have no voice in the choice of either. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
