Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Obligation of the State to Provide for the Education of Its Citizens; The Extent of the Obligation; And the Grounds on Which It Rests: Education and the State: An Address Delivered Before the Regents of the University of the State of New York at Their First Annual Commencement, Held in the State Capitol at Albany; July 10, 1879 Mr. Chancellor: It was on the 25th day of November, 1783, that the British troops under Sir Guy Carleton withdrew from the city of New York. Thus ended the last act in the tragedy of blood and fire, which for seven anxious years had filled the country with gloom. On the same day the Commander-in-Chief of the armies of the United States, accompanied by his Excellency, George Clinton, Governor of the State of New York, made his entrance into the city. Salvoes of artillery, fired from the Battery, welcomed his arrival, and saluted the star-spangled banner as it went up on the flag-staff of Fort George. The heavily afflicted city breathed once more freely. Almost in the very beginning of the struggle this unhappy town had fallen into the possession of the enemy, and during the long period of hostile occupation which followed, it had suffered far more than the ordinary miseries attendant on military rule. Even in the hour of its downfall, and while the shame and grief of its humiliation were still fresh, there fell upon it a new and frightful disaster, which to the pain of subjugation superadded the menace of an immediate and more material distress. It was the 20th of November, 1776, a date memorably dismal in the annals of New York. The hour was midnight.
