Sinopsis
Excerpt from Some Lessons Learned in the First Century of Our National Existence
Have we not but recently illustrated the sentiment of the Ameri can people on this subject? When the integrity of the nation was attacked, and arms were employed to ensure its disruption - when the cry for help showed how great the need was for assistance when the demand went forth that troops should be raised to pre vent the success of rebellion - what was the effect upon the peace-loving citizens of the land? Did the farmer, the mechanic, the laborer, the inventor, the man of science, the student in his library, the physician at the bedside, the lawyer at the bar, even the clergyman in the pulpit, reply the call is not for me; I have not been trained to arms; my tastes, pursuits and education have made me a lover of peace, and given me no fitness for war? No! But on the contrary, from the length and breadth of the loyal States was there, heard an earnest entreaty from patriotic lips that they might be allowed to contend for the preservation of the Union. And so a busy, money-making people were metamorphosed into an army, undergoing the drilling and instruction that all apprentices must undergo before they become masters of a novel pursuit. Through disaster and defeat, through the blunders of ignorance and want of experience, they toiled on, until at length came success and victory. They had shown how free men could fight for a nation's flag.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This text traces America's development as a nation from its birth to the dawn of the 20th century. The founding era and the lessons it imparted to its citizens are examined. The author argues that the most important of these lessons are: the nation's organic unity derived from God, the necessity for a citizenry committed to its preservation, the role of education in developing t citizens, and the importance of religion and morality to the nation's well being. Following each lesson, the author provides historical examples from America's past to illustrate how these lessons have been applied in practice. Many have fallen away from the principles that gave America birth and the author suggests this has been to the nation's detriment.
