Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Life and Times of Wendell Phillips I have entitled the following pages, "The Life and Times of Wendell Phillips." Hence a few words, in the form of a preface, would seem to be necessary. Mr. Phillips came prominently before the public in the year 1837. From that time onward, he was, in a large sense, a public man. At no time in his career was he regarded as a statesman: he never cast a vote at the polls, and never played the rôle of a politician, so-called. Notwithstanding all this, he was, in a very great measure, a public man. During the period in which the slavery question was agitated, - that is, from the year 1837 until the adding of the Thirteenth Amendment to the Constitution, - his name, his utterances, his acts, were constantly recorded in the newspapers. He was an acknowledged leader in the movement, and the part which he played tended to shape the course of American history. With the Woman´s Rights Movement, with the causes of Temperance, of the Irish nation, of Labor Reform, of Prison Reform, and indeed with every effort seeking the good of humanity, Mr. Phillips was closely identified.
