Download or read book Stories of the American Revolution Vol 2 Classic Reprint written by Everett T. Tomlinson and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-05-03 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Stories of the American Revolution, Vol. 2 A great history does not of necessity always mean a long history. The war of the American Revolution may not be great when it is considered in the light of a war; but it certainly is great as an event. Those heroic struggles of our fore fathers are as worthy of remembrance as the country they bequeathed us is worthy of preserva tion. Indeed, the two in a sense may be said to be joined. The price paid for an article some times enhances the value of the possession in the eyes of the possessor. The education of an American citizen to-day may be said not to be complete without a due appreciation of the aims, struggles, and efforts of those who have bequeath'ed their possessions to us. A heritage has no less value when we realize what it has cost in life and in sacrifice. Our ancestors lifted up a new banner before the gaze of the world. It is ours to hold it up. And no country needs a strong patriotic feeling among its people so much as does a republic. But patriotism, to be valuable, must be intelligent; and there can be no intelligence without knowledge. Inspiration to be patriotic can best be incited by learning of and from those who were themselves patriots. One such man as George Washington is worth more to our land than a horde of men who can only make money. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Half-Hours With American History, Vol. 2: Independent America The important action taken by the Continental Con gress in the passage of the Declaration of Independence was received with enthusiasm by the people of the newly created United States of America. On the 8th of July the independence of the country was proclaimed with great solemnity at Philadelphia, and welcomed by the people with the greatest exultation, artillery being fired, bonfires kindled, and other manifestations of joy displayed. It was read to the army in New York on the 11th, and was received by them with wild acclamations. That evening the statue of King George, which had been erected in 1770, was dragged through the streets by a party of soi diers, and a resolution taken to convert into bullets the lead of which it was made.

In 1502 Columbus caused several attested copies of them and of a few other documents to be made, raising the number of papers from thirty-six to forty-four.

It was evident; indeed, even to some who were not deemed thoughtful at all.

Download or read book A First Course in American History Vol 2 written by Jeannette Rector Hodgdon and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-07 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A First Course in American History, Vol. 2: The National Period Probably the majority of people, young and old, prefer to study history through the lives of the men who made it. For this reason A first course IN american history has been written in the form of biographies. Book One covers the periods of discovery and colonization, and Book Two gathers up the threads at the time when the colonists first began to band themselves together for common defense, and brings the history down to the present day. The books have been written primarily for use as the class text in intermediate grades, and care has been taken to cover quite thoroughly the more progressive elementary courses of history study. It is hoped that children will also find the stories interesting for supplementary reading, and for general reading at home. One of our best historians has said: In the teaching Of history the pupil's mind Should not be treated as a mere lifeless receptacle for facts; the main thing is to arouse his interest and stimulate his faculties to healthful exercise. If this book helps to inspire enthusiasm for patient effort and noble deeds and awakens interest in a further study of history, it will have served its purpose.

This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Barnes' Popular History of the United States of America, Vol. 2 The situation was peculiar, unlike any other that the history of the world had shown. Most, if not all, the nations of the earth had grown up by degrees from small beginnings. Here was one that was to spring into existence, a first-class power almost from its birth. The material was ready at hand and far removed from the influence or control of the older nations. The event showed that, as God had prepared the work, so had He laborers compe tent to perform it. They builded, and builded even stronger than they knew. On the 23d of December, less than a month after the evacua tion of New York, Washington resigned his commission as com mander-in-chief of the army and returned to his home at Mount Vernon. He had given many proofs of his patriotism, but one of the greatest was his refusal to receive any compensation for his eight years of service at the head of the army. It detracts nothing from the quality of the sentiment involved that, being rich through his marriage with Mrs. Custis, he could afford this gift to his country. He simply asked the reimbursement of his expenses, an exact account of which he had kept, drawn up by his own hand, and now presented to the government. The situation of affairs, although peace had now come, was by no means flattering to the future of the States. The Articles of Confederation, under which they had been acting during the war, were mere shadows unless sustained by a common danger or the entire willingness of all concerned. In case of any conflict of interest, they were ineffective for adjustment or control. They gave Congress authority to declare everything, but to do noth ing. They did not act at all upon the people of the country, except through the several States, and it depended entirely upon the Legislatures whether the measures adopted by Congress should be carried out. Many of them were silently disregarded; many were slowly and reluctantly obeyed; and some were openly and boldly defied.
