Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Rhode Island Independence Day: Addresses and Poem On Saturday, May the fourth, 1776, the General Assembly of Rhode Island, in session at the Old State House in Providence, dissolved its allegiance to George the Third, King of Great Britain, annulled all commissions, writs and processes issued in the name and under the seal of the king, and substituted therefor the following words of authority, The Governor and Company of the English Colony of Rhode Island and Providence Plantations. This solemn act is called "Rhode Island´s Declaration of Independence." It placed Rhode Island at the head of an independent democracy two months in advance of the great Declaration of Independence of the thirteen United Colonies, made and promulgated at Philadelphia, July fourth, 1776. While it was well-known to all students of Rhode Island history that our state was the first to take this decisive step towards civil freedom, the honor of recognizing and honoring the day by a public celebration belongs to The Rhode Island Citizens Historical Association. On the fourth of May, 1906, the citizens of Rhode Island were invited by this Association to meet at the Mathewson Street M. E. Church, Providence, R. L, to enjoy an elaborate program, prepared for the occasion. Invitations were sent to the General Assembly of the State, to the Supreme Court, to leading officials of state, cities and towns, to historic and patriotic societies and to the churches and civic bodies. A large audience gathered to honor the occasion. Governor George H. Utter, Ex-Governors William Sprague, Charles Dean Kimball and Charles Warren Lippitt and others prominent in all walks of life were present.
