Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lecture on the North and the South: Delivered Before the Young Men´s Mercantile Library Association, of Cincinnati, Ohio, January 16, 1849 The progress and prospects of the Northern and Southern sections of this Union involve some of the greatest and gravest questions of the age. Each has a form of civilization peculiar to itself, and to modern times. The Confederacy which has been formed by their union has astonished the world by its success: but the world, as well as the two sections themselves, differ very widely as to the causes of this success, and the agency of the two respective systems of society in producing it. This controversy has long been advancing on the country, and now, in consequence of recent events, it has become general. In this part of the country, however, we have had but one side; and as the subject is one of the first magnitude, I have thought it highly important that it should be well examined. In a Commercial Institution like this, it is peculiarly proper that the causes of the wealth, and the sources of the commerce of the country should be well understood. When the Constitution of the United States was adopted, the population of the two sections of the United States was nearly equal - each being not quite two millions of inhabitants, the South including more than half a milion of slaves. The territory then occupied by the two, was perhaps, also nearly equal in extent and fertility. Their commerce was also about the same; the North exporting about $9,800,540 in 1790, and the South $9,200,500. Even the property held by the two sections was almost exactly the same in amount, being about 400,000 millions in value each, according to an assesment for direct taxes in 1799.
