Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Oration: Americans Welded by War; Delivered Before the City Government and Citizens of Boston in Faneuil Hall, on the Hundred and Forty-First Anniversary of the Declaration of Independence of These United States, July 4, 1917 Mr. Mayor, Ladies and Gentlemen: One hundred and forty-one years ago today the Continental Congress, by unanimous vote, adopted the Declaration of Independence. The patriots who signed that immortal document described themselves as "the Representatives of the United States of America" and solemnly declared that all political connection between them and the State of Great Britain is, and ought to be, totally dissolved. It is to commemorate this momentous event, and to contemplate the results which it has produced, that we assemble here today in accordance with time-honored custom. In other days the triumph of our Nation´s experiment, the wondrous benefits it has wrought, and the still more glorious altitudes of civic excellence to which it was destined to ascend, have been the buoyant theme of the day´s oration. Today the sombre side of the silver-lined cloud is exposed. Our exultant anthem carries an undertone. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
