Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The American Boundary Question The American boundary question has been, is, and will be of such importance to the American people, that a few observations upon it. Collected from reading some old books upon the subject, may be interesting to the future statesmen and inhabitants of America. For their benefit, I will make some extracts from the histories which I have read, and add some comments of my own, which may be received for such value as they deserve. I say for the benefit of future generations, because I suppose the present inhabitants have already formed their opinion upon the subject from such lights as they possess; neither do I know that I can add any thing to their knowledge; but I can place the documents in a collective view, that they may be easily understood. The first European boundary of America may be called a bull, - for a grant was made of the whole of America, before it Was known that America existed. About the year 1470, the pope of Rome, by a bull in favor of John II. King: of Portugal, granted to the crown of Portugal all the lands in the Atlantic ocean, between the west coast of Africa and the east coast of China. This grant was acquiesced in by the sovereigns of Europe, and confirmed by treaty by some of them. Some twenty years after this grant, a new era in the history of the world was brought about by one of the common people. Anmus Ernt Colnmbi. A sailor - a son of a mechanic - a citizen of a republic. Discovered to the inhabitants of Europe another continent, by them denominated the new world. Then commenced the straggle of the Kings of Europe for the sovereignty of this new world, which has continued from that time until now, and is not ended yet. The Pope of Rome. in the plentitude of the powers, made a grant of the whole of this continent to the King of Spain.
