Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Trial of the American Republic Fellow-Citizens: This fiery ordeal through which our country is passing - the furnace-heat of affliction in which it is being tried; the land wet with fraternal blood, and trembling beneath the tread of contending armies, spreading sorrow, desolation and death; while the nation beholds her life flowing out like a mighty river, and stands appalled as she gazes with ghastly eyes into the dark abyss of dissolution - brings us face to face with the questions we have met to consider. Why, then, is it, grim War stalks through the land? Why these gory battle-fields and silent grave-yards? Why is blood on the nation´s garments, and sorrow in the nation´s heart? Three short years ago our land was the abode of peace and happiness. No other was as highly favored - enjoyed as great civil and religious liberty - was as blessed in every ramification of society. As a nation we had grown as by enchantment, and every sea was white with the sails of our prosperity. We were not only cherished with paternal care at home, but even in the remote islands of the sea, felt the strong arm of the nation´s protection, till it was better to have been born an American than a King.
