Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from John Hancock: A Character Sketch In these modern days of iconoclasm and skepticism, many honored and beloved heroes of the past are lowered to the common level of ordinary mankind. While iconoclasm is certainly carried to an extreme, nevertheless it is productive of good, in teaching that the great men of history whom we worshiped, were after all, the common clay of ordinary mortals. Some were great men, and some were bad men, hardly worthy a place on the page of history. This tendency of writers of recent years to disparage the founders of our government, and heroes who won the independence we enjoy, with their blood, is possibly the natural reaction of writers of the preceding age to canonize them. While "our forefathers" were only human, and by no means demigods as some past writers would represent them, they on the other hand were not the coarse, bigoted, evil minded individuals, represented by the critic of the present.
