Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Slavery in the United States, Emancipation in Missouri: Speech of Samuel T. Glover, at the Ratification Meeting in St. Louis, Held at the Court House, July 22, 1863 My Friends: I shall direct your attention to-night to some important events in our political history; and to several striking aspects which that history has developed. I shall, if I can, show you the condition of our unhappy country, and declare my convictions of the duty of the people. The British colonies of North America proclaimed themselves independent of the mother country, July 4th, 1776. The war which had been in progress prior to that event was substantially ended in 1781. January, 1783, peace was made. Since then the United States Of America have held legal status among the nations of the earth. A short period, my friends, for the life of a nation: if it so be that the nation is now to close its bright career and die. The form of the Government was not only peculiar, but it wag anew, untried experiment. One of its most interesting features was this: that the nation had but a few powers accorded to it; the States retaining all the residue of governmental authority. Domestic systems and policies were placed under State jurisdiction. National and foreign administration were confided to the Union. It was a noble system, deemed by many (of whom I am one) a form of government essential to the to the liberties of every people extending over a large country.
