Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Oration on the Real Nature and Value of the American Revolution Fellow Countrymen: - As we meet to celebrate a most famous event, I propose to you now, after the lapse of almost eighty years, that we shall all calmly consider what has been, to ourselves and to mankind, its real value. And this (contrary to usage on these occasions) I propose to do, by a simple and practical comparison of what the Colonies were or would now have been, if that event had not occurred, and what the United States have become in consequence of it. The customary course of Addresses on this day has been a historical review of the contest itself, mingled with philosophical reflections upon the natural and social rights of man, and glowing eulogies of our Revolutionary Fathers, and, sometimes, of ourselves. I leave this beaten track, not because it is beaten; for its universality only bespeaks, (what is the truth) that such a treatment of the subject is both natural and proper. Nor, ought it ever to become wearisome to the ears of Americans Such meditations, like the prayers of infancy, like the songs of home, never can grow stale. However brief, and simple, and rude in form they may be, they are full to bursting, with deep thought and ardent emotions. My reasons for pursuing this humble walk, instead of essaying these serial flights, were, first - that the suddenness of the notice prevented more serious preparations, but chiefly, because I do earnestly believe, that a more every-day sort of an examination of the incontrovertible facts of this comparison, has been too long neglected.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Revolution The history of the Revolutionary War may be divided into four well-marked periods. The first period begins in 1761 with the resistance of James Otis to the general search-warrants, and it may be regarded as ending in June, 1774, when the acts for changing the government of Massachusetts were intended to take effect. This period of constitutional discussion culminated in the defiance of Great Britain by the people of Boston when they threw the tea into the harbour; and the acts of April, 1774, by which Parliament replied to the challenge, were virtually a declaration of war against the American colonies, though yet another year elapsed before the first bloodshed at Lexington. The second period opens with June, 1774, when Massachusetts began to nullify the acts of Parliament, and it closes with the Declaration of Independence.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Present-Day Thoughts on the American Revolution: Phi Beta Kappa Oration, June 18th, 1919 But the healthy instinct of future generations will not be content with such a vapid interpretation of our past; it will demand the truth, no matter how little flattering it may prove to be; and the day will come - ln fact it is not far distant - when our history will be studied for its own sake and when the events of our Revolution will no longer be used to glorify ancestors, to justify racial claims to prominence in our struggle for independence, or, what is worse than all else, to increase the animosity toward Great Britain on the basis of events occurring a century and a half ago. Many of the current interpretations of our Revolutionary history are merely forms of propaganda designed for party advantage or founded on mistaken ideas of patriotic duty. And when all these are swept away and the events of these momentous years are studied for the truth that is in them then only will the profession of historian have come into its own in America.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from What Produced the American Revolution: Oration Delivered at Sag-Harbor, N. Y., On the 5th of July, 1875 In the history of the past there has been no sentiment more general than the desire of every race or tribe to perpetuate the remembrance of the events that distinguish them as a separate people. Before the art of writing was invented the rude cairn that marked the site of a decisive battle, or the primitive ballad that preserved its incidents, attest how early and how deeply this feeling was implanted, and as civilization advanced, and a knowledge of the arts supplied other means of gratifying this natural instinct, it found expression in the epic poem, in the celebration of the anniversary days of heroes by libations, sacrifices, and the crowning of their tombs with garlands - as in Greece; or by the religious observance of periods of national deliverance such as the Jewish passover; or by the erection of stately monuments or memorial inscriptions, like the obelisks of Egypt, or the sculptured halls of Ninevah. Among the rigorous laws of Draco, so severe that they were said to have been written in blood, there was one denoting how important this early lawgiver deemed it to perpetuate in the memory of the people their national events, and the personages or heroes connected with them. Let, it, said this enactment, be a sacred and inviolable law to pay public homage to the Gods and to the national heroes. And in enjoining the seven days annual celebration of the deliverance of the Jews, how earnest is the language of Moses. And this day shall be unto you for a memorial, for in this self same day have I brought your armies out of the land of Egypt and ye shall therefore keep it as a feast to the Lord throughout your generaiions - Ye shall keep it a feast, by an ordinance forever. For ninety-nine years the American people have commemorated with national rejoicings the annual return of the day from which they date their commencement as a nation. Mrs. Trollope, who could find little to commend in American institutions or manners, was struck with the effect which the return of this day produced.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Revolution, Vol. 1 of 2 It is an obvious comment upon the present work, that a story of the American Revolution which stops with the sur render oi Cornwallis and the consequent fall of Lord North's ministry is incomplete. One might reply, in general, that any historical narrative must needs be incomplete wherever it may happen to stop; but on the present occasion a more suitable answer is that the story is continued in my book entitled The Critical Period of American History, the first chapter of which deals with the Results of Yorktown.

This book was released on 2017-09-17 with total page 496 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historical View of the American Revolution, Vol. 1 It is a principle of English law, that the King cannot take the subject's money without the subject's consent. Denying this principle, England attempted to tax the Colonies through the Imperial Parliament instead of the Colonial Assemblies, and lost them. Appealing to this principle, the Colonists claimed the right to dispose freely of the fruits Of their own labors, and established their claim by the War of Independence. But they failed to see that, if the principle was true, it was true as a law of universal humanity, and therefore must sooner or later demand and Obtain universal application. And this failure to accept all the consequences of the accepted principle left the bitter and bloody war bella plus guam cz'vz'h'a - through which we are now passing as a part of their legacy to their children. Will not history say that wise statesmanship should have foreseen this as a logical sequence, and consistent Christianity should recognize it as the act of that divine justice which could not have imposed the Obligation of personal responsibility without according the right of personal freedom?

On the eighth of Novem her the commander-in-chief wrote to Greene that, inas much as British vessels could not be prevented from passing up the stream, and British troops possessed all the surrounding country, no benefit could be expected from the retention of the fortress on Manhattan Island.
