Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Centennial Hymn of the Northwest Territory: With Notes While the new centennials dawn upon our country far and wide How proper the occasion, how fitting is the pride, To celebrate the passage of the act that like a guide Sent the Nation marching on! Chorus. Glory, glory hallelujah! glory, glory hallelujah! Glory, glory hallelujah, keep the Nation marching on! There will occur a succession of centennial celebrations of national importance, during the next few years. For, beginning with 1787 came the formation and adoption of the constitution, the organization of the present form of the U. S. government, election and inauguration of the first President, first settlement in the Northwest Territory, down to 1900, when we shall have the 100th anniversary of the location of the capital of the United States, and 1903, the centennial of our first great purchase - Louisiana. The Continental Congress in session in New York City, July 13, 1787, passed an act entitled "An ordinance for the government of the territory of the United States northwest of the river Ohio." It was the result of the application by a number of officers of the revolutionary army who proposed to take land in lieu of large arrearages of pay, and to make settlements and found new homes across the mountains.
