Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Memorial Address: Delivered by J. F. Hanson, Macon, Ga;, At Andersonville, Georgia, Saturday, May 30, 1891 Ladies and Gentlemen: Every student of our history must be impressed with the conditions that surround us to-day. We are reminded by the graves of those who perished in its progress, that within the lifetime of the generation to which many of us belong, we have passed through a great civil war. Of its hatreds and bitterness, its sufferings and its wrongs, we have learned from experience, or are informed by tradition. These are happily passed, and save the excitement and tumult of party conflicts, the clash of opposing political forces, the peace that pervades the country is as profound as the undisturbed repose of the dead. In this large assemblage there are men who fought under the victorious flag of the Union, men who followed the illstarred banner of the Confederacy, and others, still, who are the sons of both, and who were born and have grown to man´s estate since the close of the war. There are also present many representatives of that race, which, during the war, was enslaved, though now free, and which without fault or responsibility, has constituted for seventy-five years the political storm centre of the republic. We should not meet as Northern men or Southern men, as soldiers of the Federal or Confederate armies, as masters or slaves, as white men or black men, but as citizens of a common country, blessed with universal freedom and universal peace, seeking at this shrine of patriotism, to learn from our past history lessons of wisdom and duty for the future.
