Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Irish Issue in Its American Aspect: A Contribution to the Settlement of Anglo-American During and After the Great War Ireland is the spectre of the British Empire. Sometimes she seems to fill the position of America´s family ghost as well. Uncle Sam is far too good and young to be haunted as some of the European nations are haunted by the undying phantasms of those they oppressed. Only the picturesque wraith of the Red Indian broods upon the prairies of the West. If the American has pressed into other lands than his original colonies, it has always been to redeem and civilise, never to enslave persons or desecrate territory. No ghost came out of the Philippines to decry his record before the nations. His Cuban conscience is clean. The Queen of Hawaii, the pride of Spain, and the Pekin summer palace need never trouble his soul. The hazard of the world brought each into his way and he dealt with them severally, as a gentleman should under the circumstances. The American gentleman is so by national tradition rather than by individual birth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
