Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Speeches of the Governors of Massachusetts, From 1765-1775: And the Answers of the House of Representatives, to the Same; With Their Resolutions and Addresses for That Period The Independence of the United States of America, with respect to the government of Great Britain, of which, from their first settlement, they had been colonies, thus making a part of that mighty empire, is an event of no ordinary magnitude. The principles, which operated to produce it, are, in a political view,, of the highest moment to civilized society; and the consequences have been such, as not only to exceed all calculation, and astonish the most sanguine theorist, but to promote, in a wonderful degree, the freedom, the improvement, and the best interests of man. It cannot, then, be a useless labor to collate and preserve the documents, which serve to develope the characters, and to exhibit the views and principles of the individuals, who were instrumental in effecting that glorious event. The English, who first settled in North America, were men of great hardihood and enterprize. And in addition to these lofty qualities, we may also justly attribute to them, with a very few exceptions, an unconquerable love of civil liberty. Perhaps, in a few instances, adventurers to this new world were actuated principally by a love of gain. It is particularly true, however, of the first English inhabitants of Plymouth, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Connecticut, that they were not only brave and enterprizing, but strongly attached to the principles of civil and religious freedom. In truth, this sentiment in them was a passion; and this passion was often raised to enthusiasm. Perhaps, a love of religious liberty was their predominant trait of character.
