Sinopsis
Excerpt from The Morality of the Riot: Sermon of Rev. O. B. Frothingham, at Ebbitt Hall, Sunday, July 19, 1863
Each year their growing power consigns to pau perism millions of laboring people, takes away their occupation, with their occupation their earnings, with their earnings their bread. Cry sadder and more insensate could not be uttered. Of course it must be stifled in the blood of those who raised it, for society must not perish. Man must improve his condition, and if he will be convinced of this only at the barricades, then at the barricades he must learn it, in the spilling of his own blood; but every drop of blood is a tear, and the smothered cry is a smo thered prayer for forgiveness.
I have used this illustration because it is so strik ing. But if ignorance can thus make people dis posed to curse and crucify the veiled benefactors who would enrich them with material goods, of course ignorance would dispose them all the more to curse and crucify those who would benefit them in a higher degree, which they could even less understand and appreciate. If ignorance makes men mad with inventors, how much more will it make them mad with reformers, philanthropists, redeemers, who bring an uncomprehended and altogetht r fathomless benefit to their social and moral estate!

Excerpt from The Morality of the Riot: Sermon of Rev. O. B. Frothingham, at Ebbitt Hall, Sunday, July 19, 1863
"Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do." - Luke xxiii., 34.
In recalling the frightful scenes of the past week - our New York Reign of Terror - scenes happily passed, and now to be as quickly as possible forgotten, as soon as the lesson of them is learned - these words of Jesus come again and again to my mind, and give the only key that opens their whole meaning. All through the week they were in my thoughts. They would not be drowned by words of fear or words of vengeance. The faint, sweet voice which spoke them from the cross was louder in ray ear than the clamors of the populace, the cries of the citizens, the rattle of the musketry, or the boom of cannon. In that ancient City of Jerusalem there was one week of riot. It was instigated and conducted, for their own political ends, by men who called themselves the eminent friends of government, of order and of law. The leaders and abettor of it were the Pharisees, the party of prerogative, and who called themselves the high representatives of the national idea and constitutional authority. The rough material that composed it was the misguided mass of the people; its victim was the child, the friend, the benefactor, the Savior of the people.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a reflection on the riots in New York City during the American Civil War, where the author argues that the rioters, while deserving punishment, acted out of ignorance of their true interests. The author also reflects on the ways in which the powerful and tyrannical often find support from the poorest and most violent members of society. The author believes that the ultimate solution to this problem is not found in the suppression of the poor, but in the weakening of the power of the tyrannical class. By advocating for the empowerment of the working class and the removal of the aristocracy, the author's ideas are more relevant than ever in an era of increased political and social polarization. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
