Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lincoln Day Address Lincoln Day Address delivered by Daniel W. Lawler at a meeting held under the auspices of St. Paul Camp No.1, Sons of Veterans, at Assembly Hall, Old State Capitol, St. Paul, Minnesota, February 12th, 1907. On being introduced by the Presiding Officer, Mr. Lawler spoke as follows: Mr. Chairman, Members of St. Paul Camp No.1, Sons of Veterans, Ladies and Gentlemen: Honored as we are tonight by it he presence of so many of the veteran soldiers of the Union Army, I feel that much I may say during the lime that has been allotted to me, may seem trite and elementary. At a meeting held, however, under the auspices of the Sons of Veterans it may not be inappropriate for us to first review some of the conditions which confronted the generation to which belonged the man whose memory we honor tonight. It is difficult for us of this generation to fully appreciate the political conditions which existed in this country and the dangers that confronted the Republic when Fort Sumter was fired upon. Living, as we are today, in the full enjoyment of the blessings which the victory of the Union arms won for us and all the generations to come, we are perhaps too apt to take for granted that the principles of government which exist today were those of our predecessors; we are too apt to forget that the political doctrines which we hold relating to the dignity of humanity, the rights of men, the powers of government, which were won for us as a precious legacy by the men who fought for the cause of the Union were not accepted by the entire people of this country in 1861. Slavery was, of course, the provoking cause of the war. Its immediate cause was the vexed question of the extension of slavery.
