Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oration Delivered at Kingston, R. I: July 4, 1843 We have assembled to celebrate the birth-day of our national existence - to render thanks to Almighty God who crowned with success the ever memorable struggle of our ancestors for independence - and to kindle anew our love of liberty by contemplating the virtue, the wisdom, and the heroic deeds of the men of ´76. The moral grandeur of the event we celebrate surpasses, that of any other recorded in history. It was the first public declaration, by a nation, of the true principles of government, and its influence was to be coextensive with the world. France, Greece, Ireland, Poland, and South America have, through seas of blood, attempted to follow the glorious example of America. The anniversary of our independence is commemorated, not by the sons of America alone, but by the friends of freedom in every clime, in Europe, and in the distant isles of the Pacific.
