Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Visit to Costa Rica of His Excellency the Secretary of State of the United States of America Philander C. Knox You are welcome to Costa Rica, distinguished Representative of the United States of America, that friendly country that from remote times and in a variety of ways has exercised such a far-reaching influence over the destinies of this Republic. A little time after the thirteen colonies, according to the terms of your Declaration of Independence, "Assumed, among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of nature and of natures God entitle them," the Spanish colonies, stirred up by the revolutionary fermentation of the North and encouraged by your noble example, repeated and made good your words, applying them to themselves, declaring that "They were and of right ought to be, free and independent States," and so it was, Sir, that Costa Rica, without hatred toward, and even without disaffection for Spain, and carried along by the wave of emancipation that swept over the New World from Massachusetts to the Argentine, abandoned her secular vassalage and assumed the sovereign arbitration of her destiny. Nevertheless it was very possible, above all in Central America, that our exercise of sovereignty would only have been a momentary eclipse of European domination, of this or that State, if it had not been for the joint Anglo-American action, and if the United States had not pronounced in 1823, through the mouth of President Monroe, its formidable veto. The American Eagle then spread its wings over this continent, and in its flight joined that of the "Nopal" and the Condors of the South.
