Sinopsis
Excerpt from Might and Right, by a Rhode Islander
People have hearts, though Politicians, and Legis lators, may not have.
Believing in the unity Of Human Rights the unity Of Freedom we can see that the injury of any member, is the injury Of the whole body, and wrong towards any part is wrong towards the whole. It becomes, then, the bounden duty of him who labors in the cause Of man, to neglect no sufferers about him who wear the human form, even though their creeds, both political and moral, may differ from his own. And to all others, who have no conscience to bear upon the question, it should become a matter of policy of downright selfishness. Let them look to it, when Human Rights are trodden under foot, that their own are not injured, or even crushed amid the common wreck.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the struggle for suffrage rights in Rhode Island during the mid-19th century. The author, an ardent supporter of the Free Suffrage Party, provides a historical account of the social and political landscape of the state at the time, highlighting the deep-seated inequalities and biases that disenfranchised a majority of the population. The author argues that the property-based voting requirements were not only unjust and discriminatory but also stifled economic and social progress. The book delves into the tactics employed by the Free Suffrage Party to challenge the status quo, including mass meetings, petitions, and lawsuits. It also examines the fierce resistance from the conservative establishment, which sought to maintain its grip on power. Ultimately, the author contends that the fight for suffrage in Rhode Island was a microcosm of the broader struggle for democracy and equality that was unfolding across the nation, and that the lessons learned from this chapter in history remain relevant to contemporary debates about voting rights and political representation. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
