Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from An Oration, Delivered on the Fourth of July, 1821: Before the Cincinnati and Revolution Societies Fellow Citizens! In an age when suffering humanity required it most, a new Land of Promise was revealed in this Western wilderness. It seems to have entered into the scheme of God´s benevolence, that the Pilgrims whom he was sending forth to build up the foundations of a new empire to adorn the face of his creation, should be disciplined by an instructive and salutary adversity - that their fortitude should be tried by discomfiture, their constancy by persecution, their religious resignation by calamity in its bitterest forms, their courage by all that is hazardous in enterprize and frightful in peril. It is but a narrow philosophy, which refers our Revolution to a trifling impost on glass or tea; the causes of it were interwoven in the moral habits of our ancestors; they were cherished by the toleration of peculiar and various forms of religious worship, and by a fervid attachment to all those branches of the Constitution of the mother-country, which wore even the semblance of freedom.
