Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Between Two Opinions: Or, the Question of the Hour The writer is aware that the present volume boldly contradicts a certain popular and most mischievous fallacy which seems to date its origin from the time when the anti-slavery struggle for a quarter of a century kept every other great question in abeyance; namely, that there is room in American politics for only one reform at a time It is true that both the Anti-masonic uprising of 1829, and the temperance movemwit a few years later went down like driftwood in the tide of excited feeling which followed the labors of the first Abolitionists; but they who would make out of this fact a precedent for all future time forget that we have entered on a new era with totally changed conditions, and every branch of reform work has taken a corresponding impetus With a nation composed partly of slaves and partly of freemen, or even an unreconstructed South as it existed just after the war, there could be no adequate settlement of these great questions now pressing to the front. But, given a nation emancipated forever from the curse of human bondage, sectional lines obliterated, and a North and South as united in fraternal bonds as the East and the West, and every plank in the platforms of our various reform parties becomes a sublime possibility. The logic of events is fast teaching us this truth. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
