Book Colonization and Christianity

Download or read book Colonization and Christianity written by William Howitt and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-10-17 with total page 538 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Colonization and Christianity: A Popular History of the Treatment of the Natives by the Europeans in All Their Colonies The object of this volume is to lay open to the public the most extensive and extraordinary system of crime which the world ever witnessed. It is a system which has been in full operation for more than three hundred years, and continues yet in unabating activity of evil. The apathy which has hitherto existed in England upon this subject has proceeded in a great measure from want of knowledge. National injustice towards. Particular tribes, or particular individuals, has excited the most lively feeling, and the most energetic exertions for its redress, - but the whole wide field of unchristian opera tions in which this country, more than any other, is engaged, has never yet been laid in a clear and compre hensive view before the public mind. It is no part of the present volume to suggest particular plans of remedy. The first business is to make known the nature and the extent of the evil, - that once perceived, in this great country there will not want either heads to plan or hands to accomplish all that is due to the rights of others, or.

Book Colonization and Christianity  A Popular History of the Treatment of the Natives by the Europeans in all their Colonies

Download or read book Colonization and Christianity A Popular History of the Treatment of the Natives by the Europeans in all their Colonies written by William Howitt and published by Library of Alexandria. This book was released on 2020-09-28 with total page 554 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Christianity has now been in the world upwards of One Thousand Eight Hundred Years. For more than a thousand years the European nations have arrogated to themselves the title of Christian! some of their monarchs, those of most Sacred and most Christian Kings! We have long laid to our souls the flattering unction that we are a civilized and a Christian people. We talk of all other nations in all other quarters of the world, as savages, barbarians, uncivilized. We talk of the ravages of the Huns, the irruptions of the Goths; of the terrible desolations of Timour, or Zenghis Khan. We talk of Alaric and Attila, the sweeping carnage of Mahomet, or the cool cruelties of more modern Tippoos and Alies. We shudder at the war-cries of naked Indians, and the ghastly feasts of Cannibals; and bless our souls that we are redeemed from all these things, and made models of beneficence, and lights of God in the earth! It is high time that we looked a little more rigidly into our pretences. It is high time that we examined, on the evidence of facts, whether we are quite so refined, quite so civilized, quite so Christian as we have assumed to be. It is high time that we look boldly into the real state of the question, and learn actually, whether the mighty distance between our goodness and the moral depravity of other people really exists. Whether, in fact, we are Christian at all! Have bloodshed and cruelty then ceased in Europe? After a thousand years of acquaintance with the most merciful and the most heavenly of religions, do the national characters of the Europeans reflect the beauty and holiness of that religion? Are we distinguished by our peace, as the followers of the Prince of Peace? Are we renowned for our eagerness to seek and save, as the followers of the universal Saviour? Are our annals redolent of the delightful love and fellowship which one would naturally think must, after a thousand years, distinguish those who pride themselves on being the peculiar and adopted children of Him who said, “By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another?” These are very natural, but nevertheless, very awkward questions. If ever there was a quarter of the globe distinguished by its quarrels, its jealousies, its everlasting wars and bloodshed, it is Europe. Since these soi-disant Christian nations have risen into any degree of strength, what single evidence of Christianity have they, as nations, exhibited? Eternal warfare!—is that Christianity? Yet that is the history of Christian Europe. The most subtle or absurd pretences to seize upon each other’s possessions,—the contempt of all faith in treaties,—the basest policy,—the most scandalous profligacy of public morals,—the most abominable international laws!—are they Christianity? And yet they are the history of Europe. Nations of men selling themselves to do murder, that ruthless kings might ravish each other’s crowns—nations of men, standing with jealous eyes on the perpetual watch against each other, with arms in their hands, oaths in their mouths, and curses in their hearts;—are those Christian? Yet there is not a man acquainted with the history of Europe that will even attempt to deny that that is the history of Europe. For what are all our international boundaries; our lines of demarcation; our frontier fortresses and sentinels; our martello towers, and guard-ships; our walled and gated cities; our bastions and batteries; and our jealous passports?

  • Author : Edward W. Said
  • Publisher : Vintage
  • Release : 2014-10-01
  • ISBN : 0804153868
  • Pages : 434 pages

Download or read book Orientalism written by Edward W. Said and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2014-10-01 with total page 434 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A groundbreaking critique of the West's historical, cultural, and political perceptions of the East that is—three decades after its first publication—one of the most important books written about our divided world. "Intellectual history on a high order ... and very exciting." —The New York Times In this wide-ranging, intellectually vigorous study, Said traces the origins of "orientalism" to the centuries-long period during which Europe dominated the Middle and Near East and, from its position of power, defined "the orient" simply as "other than" the occident. This entrenched view continues to dominate western ideas and, because it does not allow the East to represent itself, prevents true understanding.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Dutch and Quaker Colonies in America, Vol. 2 Ment in the English colonies and made it pos sible for them at length to come together in a great Federal Union. Such remote results were not within the ken Of James, Duke of York. Thoughts of commerce rather than Of empire filled his mind, and none could deny that the trade in peltries and the possession Ofa superb seaport were fit objects of princely care. A bigot and despot by natural temper, he had nothing to gain and everything to lose by ex hibiting such qualities as lord-proprietor of this Dutch domain. But for tact and modera tion this bloodless conquest could hardly have been made without continued moderation and tact it might prove hard to keep. Conciliation was the watchword, and no better person could have been found to carry out such a policy than Richard Richard N icolls, one of the most n'co'is genial and attractive figures in early American history. He was honest and sensible, frank but courteous in speech, open-hearted and liberal - minded, a man of refined tastes and an excellent scholar withal, fond of his Greek and Latin books, and speaking Dutch and French like a native. Wherever he went he won all hearts, and so it was in New Amster dam. The citizens were undisturbed in person or property, and it was soon felt that their rights were better protected than ever before. The old Dutch local government of burgo.
