Excerpt from Problems of American Civilization: Their Practical Solution the Pressing, Christian Duty of to-Day
The Constitution of the United States breathes a sanguine spirit. It is founded upon trust in human nature. The spirit that was abroad in the latter half of the eighteenth century was that of Rousseau, and the minds of Jefferson and Franklin were deeply imbued with it. The gospel of the age was the "Contrat Social" with its new trinity of Liberty, Equality and Fraternity," which we yet see inscribed upon the walls of the churches of Paris. The same intellectual movement which produced the French Revolution was also a strong co-operating factor in the American Revolution. When the founders of the American Republic stretched out their hands with a hospitable welcome to all the oppressed of the earth, it was in a large measure because Rousseau had taught them to believe in the inherent goodness of man. They took it for granted that the oppressed, no matter who they were and whence they came, were deserving characters, who needed only the liberty which the new republic offered them, to grow to the full stature of civic, moral and intellectual manhood.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book details the concerns of the late 19th century regarding the wave of immigration the United States had been experiencing. It explores the reasons for this influx and the struggles many of these immigrants faced. The author explains that immigration, while once a positive factor in the country's growth, is now posing a threat to society and its institutions. The author argues that unrestricted immigration is leading to economic and social problems, and that the government needs to take action to limit the number of immigrants entering the country. The author also discusses the importance of assimilating immigrants into American culture and the challenges that come with this process. By providing historical context and thoughtful analysis, this book offers valuable insights into the complex issue of immigration and its impact on American society.
