Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Address in Vindication of the U. S. Government : For the Course Pursued in Subduing the Southern Rebellion, Delivered in Marshall´s Hall, Bridgetown, Barbadoes, British West Indies, February 3, 1865 Ladies and Gentlemen: - I appear before you to-night in the character of an American citizen. The name "American citizen," is one I am proud of. I say proud of, because I believe that while under the Aegis of the "Stars and Stripes," I am as safe, and entitled to the same protection, as under the glorious flag of Old England - the flag which, for a thousand years, has braved the battle and the breeze; that flag, which, wherever it appears, is entitled to, and receives respect; that flag which waves over dominions on which the sun never sets, and which is the emblem of freedom throughout the universe. The flag of the United States is also the emblem of freedom; and, thank God, is soon, I fully believe, to float over a whole and undivided Union - a Union cemented by the blood of those heroes and patriots who fought for, and obtained freedom, in the days that tried men´s souls; in those good old days when the immortal Washington achieved a work, thought by many to be impossible.
