Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rise of the United States The Rise Of The United States. In discharging the duty with which I have been honoured, for the opening of the present course of Cambridge lectures, I am asked to speak to you as briefly as may be on the greatest fact in modern history, the rise and development of the United States. Neither George Canning nor his King called this New World into being, and it was not called into being by anybody for the purpose of redressing the balance of the Old. As to its most significant, and, for a long time, its leading settlements, it was called into being by Charles I., when he pursued Separatists, non-Conformists, and others, in the professed interest of the Church of England. Its growth was checked by the rise of Oliver Cromwell; and while the Protectorate lasted the Puritan emigration ceased. Charles II. revived it, and he and his brother James, by their treatment of the Puritans in England, and the Covenanters in Scotland, did more than any other human power to make New England and other large sections of the United States what they are. Tudors and Stuarts alike, whatever their intentions, were helpful to the infancy of the new nation, and there is fitness in its possessing enduring monuments to commemorate them, Virginia, Maryland, the Carolinas, Jamestown, and James River. At the beginning of this period, say at the opening of the Seventeenth Century, and near the close of Queen Elizabeth´s long reign, all England was much less than London is now. The total population of England was a little over four millions, and what is now far the greatest city in the world had then possibly a quarter of one million within its limits.
