Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from No Dynasty in North America The atlas of the world contains no political outline so "ragged edged" as the Dominion of Canada, made up of misallied provinces in single file like Indians on a trail, nowhere two abreast; and of which it may be said, could the autonomic wonder be described, that Manitoba is its chest, with one lung thawed in the grain-growing summer solstice, the other lung blockaded with ice throughout the year; its waist the wasp girth of ground between Lake Superior and James Bay; Nova Scotia its heel; and Newfoundland the big toe of its "best foot put foremost" among the fishes. The Dominion of Canada was organized contemporaneously with the military adventure of Napoleon the Third in Mexico, during the rebellion of the Potomac Rio-Grande States, 1861-65, in expectation that secession would succeed and the American Union be dissolved. To profit from this disaster France and Great Britain made mutual preparations. But the "wayward sisters" that loved secession "not wisely but too well," when they went out at the side doors open south, are reinstalled in their old places and duties under the invincible Constitution, which, to preserve liberty in the Republic and union among the States, can take shape to meet necessities, can carry guns like a ship and be reefed and unfurled like a sail, to suit the weather of the × and the prodigal sons of secession, willing to serve the country, break bread in Washington and divide appropriations in Congress with representatives of the States that continued steadfast; and so the four quarters of the country, named after the cardinal points, are all cemented in the joints dovetailed in the Union shield, and every State is a standard star on the national flag. The American citizen is always and everywhere gladdened by the ensign of his nationality; and the subject in political fetters is cheered by the stars and stripes, radiant in the ports of the world penetrated by American ships, with colors at the mast-head, free in the wind and bright against the heavens, the banner an inspiration, the background the resting place for hope.
