Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speech of Matt H. Carpenter: At the Dedication of the Memorial Hall, Beloit College, July 1869; The Mission and the Future Foreign Policy of the United States Mr. President, Ladies and Gentlemen: The American people have just emerged from the thick darkness of national distresses: emerged, as no other nation could reasonably have expected to, from such dangers, triumphant, though bleeding at every pore. The first impulse of a great people on being delivered from eminent perils, is that of joy and thanksgiving; then comes gratitude for those by whose guidance, under God, safety has been attained; then a sad reflection upon the fearful sacrifices by which success has been purchased, and a tender recollection of those who have fallen in the strife; and finally the composed mind gathers up the teachings of such a fearful experience: - wisdom for the guidance of future years. On the surrender of Lee and Johnson in 1865, our people gave themselves up to the wildest rejoicings; for a time the toils, the trials, the sufferings of four dreadful years were all forgotten; business places were closed, our people rushed out of doors, impromptu processions filled the streets; music led our exultant emotions as far as musical sounds could conduct them; and then the roar of cannon and the shoutings of the multitude took up the joyful strain and bore it in tumult to the skies. our people are fond of excitement, and may be aroused to enthusiasm upon slight provocation.
