Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Character and Public Services of Abraham Lincoln, Vol. 5: The Progressive State From the University Point of View The influence of environment on nations opens a domain of historical speculation that is well-nigh limitless. The habits and customs of men are controlled by the natural conditions which surround them. The Mediterranean and the Aegean seas produced a maritime people. The fertility of the soil, the warm sunshine shedding its glow over the land of Italy, Greece, and Africa, brought forth innumerable harvests for which the water opened a market with far distant races. Commerce was encouraged, and association with a greater and broader world led to culture, knowledge, and refinement. The development of art, the spread of learning, the acquisition of comforts and luxuries established an earlier civilization, where nature had so generously provided the means for its growth. In the colder North, the products of the soil were meager, insufficient in themselves to sustain life or furnish food for a numerous people. The forests, dense and impenetrable, were not adapted to encourage the knowledge of one tribe by another, but they afforded to man a means of sustenance in the perils of the chase. A nomadic race of hunters was the result - barbarous and ignorant warriors, lusty for battle, hardy and courageous, who sought a better field for their exploits and an escape from the prison of the woods.
