Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Problems in Pan Americanism There are two Americas - not North and South, but Anglo-Saxon and Latin. If an accident of history had not given them the same names both peoples might have been spared the serious results of ignoring the significance of wide differences in historical inheritance, religion, language, customs and ideals. But the failure of both parties to take into account these differences has been fatal. Future historians will wonder that Americans, North and South, lived together on this Continent so long without understanding each other. Present citizens of this America of ours are themselves beginning to ask this question. This book is an effort to help the North American to answer it. Guidance in the selection of material from such a vast field, has not been the desire for a logical but rather for a psychological presentation of the problem. In the first place, an effort is made to have the reader share in the author´s admiration of and belief in the future of the Latin American people. Since it is unfair, however, in drawing up the balance sheet of our friends to have only the credit side presented, the outstanding problems of our Southern neighbors are also given, largely as they themselves have stated them. With these friendly contacts established, history is reviewed to show that in the early days, both in the North and the South, there were warm reciprocal desires for Continental Solidarity, incarnated in Simon Bolivar of the South and Henry Clay of the North. But the Mexican War started a current of suspicion, which the Spanish-American War and the extension of North American control over the Caribbean countries developed into hatred.
