Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration: Delivered on the Fourth of July, 1829, at the Celebration of American Independence, in the City of Boston A people, satisfied with hereditary honor, might repose on the large inheritance derived from the fathers of the American revolution. Providence assigned to them a duty of immeasurable interest, and endowed them with feelings, manners and principles for its successful accomplishment. In their adventurous courage chivalry revived again; and the armies of liberty rivalled in glory the soldiers of the cross. Their self devotion repeated the examples of apostolic zeal in a cause almost as holy, and joined in kindred veneration the martyrs of freedom and the evangelists of faith. Their country combined and concentrated every motive of action, and enforced the obedience of their souls, even when she seemed to require them, like the Patriarch of Israel, to bind their own children on the altar of patriotism, and with their own hands to offer an oblation dearer than life. But the declaration of national independence - their enduring claim on the gratitude of posterity and the admiration of mankind - is not to be considered as the commencement of American liberty. More justice is due to the earlier settlers of Massachusetts, and more liberality to the country whence they sprang. Our ancestors came here freemen, and by the blessing of God neither they nor their posterity ever were slaves.
