Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Britannica Answered and the South Vindicated: A Defense of the South Against the Aspersions of the Encyclopedia Britannica, and a Criticism of That Work I will begin, then, the purposed refutation and exposure of the Britannica, with the following simple statement of historic facts: The first President of the United States, and the most illustrious American - "the man first in war, first in peace, and first in the hearts of his countrymen," under whose leadership the colonies won their independence, and on whom, by common acclaim, is bestowed the title, "the father of his country," - was a Southern man. The first President of the Continental Congress was a Southern man, and a Southern member of that Congress was the author and mover of the adoption of the resolution declaring the Colonies free and independent States. The greatest American orator - the man whose words most inspired the American heart and nerved the American arm in the struggle for independence - was a Southern man. The author of the Declaration of Independence - the most famous production of an American pen - was a Southern man, and when the peoples of the United States met to celebrate the Centennial of that Declaration it was a Southern man who was selected to write the poem for the opening of that Centennial. "The father of the Constitution" was a Southern man; its greatest expounder - the greatest American jurist - was a Southern man; and when, in the fullness of time, the peoples of the Union came to celebrate the Centennial of that immortal instrument, it was a Southern man who was the chosen orator of that memorable and imposing occasion. For more than half the period of its existence the Government formed by that Constitution has been administered by Presidents who were Southern men, and the years of their administrations mark immeasurably the most splendid and prosperous eras of the Union.
