Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Missouri Compromise: An Address Delivered Before the Citizens of Pittsfield Friends of Public Faith and National Honor: There are times of peril, in the history of even nation, which demand the united counsels and efforts of all the people, to ward off the danger, Some times, it is to resist, at every hazard, the invasion of a foreign power; sometimes to quell a formidable insurrection at home; and sometimes, to thwart the stealthy encroachments of wily and aspiring men, who to gain their own selfish purposes, would not hesitate to sacrifice the best interests of the present and of all future generations. Such times of public danger there have been, in the history of this country. The first, was, in what has since been called the old French war, in 1745, and which was brought to a successful close, by the capture of Quebec, on the heights of Abraham. The next, and a far more perilous struggle, was in the war of the Revolution, between these then colonies, and the mother country, in which England put forth all her naval and military strength, to coerce submission to her arbitrary laws, and to resist which, required the united efforts and sacrifices of the whole people, during seven long and bloody years. By the blessing of God, on their counsels and their arm-, they triumphed, and established their Independence.
