Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Concord and the American Revolution: An Oration; Delivered on the One Hundred and Twenty-Fifth Anniversary of Concord Fight; April 19, 1900 The events of April 19th, 1775, have given rise to much discussion and some controversy respecting matters of personal or local, rather than of general, interest: it is, perhaps, needless to say that as to such matters I make no claim to speak with authority. There are two subjects, however, on which a word of explanation may not be superfluous. I speak of the minute-men as "militia," in the sense which would justify the same term if applied to our National Guard or the English Volunteers or Yeomanry: all may be fitly called "militia" in contradistinction to regular troops, but in each case there was or is a different force legally entitled to the name. Had hostilities commenced a few years earlier, the distinction might have been of some practical importance, for the minute-men were organized, in the first instance, partly, at least, because of doubts how far the militia, formed under Royal authority and, in theory, commanded by the Royal Governor, would, in all cases, obey promptly and surely the popular authorities.
