Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Britain and the United States Need Each Other Your words of generous welcome are gladly and gratefully accepted, in the only sense in which, as I well know, they could be at all warranted - not as personal but as a convenient way of expressing your sentiments towards the great country I have the honour to represent. In that sense I am doubly proud to receive them. It is a great country; it fills a larger place now every succeeding year in the world's horizon, and we derive pleasure from observing that it seems larger nowhere else, and is nowhere more esteemed than with the very people in whose eyes we would gladly look our best - those of the land from which we had our origin and early nurture, our institutions and our language, and from which has come so large a part of our composite blood.

This book was released on 2018-02-28 with total page 80 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America and Britain, the Story of the Relations, Between Two Peoples B Iassimilated or is being assimilated to a type as uniform as that of any other people. But the fact that our people are of mixed origin does not mean that our nation is a conglomerate or that our Civilization culture is a compromise between different 1101001119191 contributing elements. Our language, for instance, is not a medley of English, French, German, Italian, Russian, Syrian, and the like. It is English, the other languages being represented at most by a few scattering words which rapidly become anglicized beyond recognition. And the same is true of all that is essential in our political and social institutions. The influence of the French, Spanish, and Dutch can be traced in our laws and customs, but only locally and in matters of detail, much as in our speech. Even where their language and institutions have a certain independent existence, as in Louisiana and New Mex ico, they are clearly losing ground. Those who speak French or Spanish speak English also, or are learning to do so. Only the British speech and British institu tions have been able to persist, to enlarge their terri tory, and to absorb or suppress competing systems. It is therefore perfectly correct to say that our country and, our civilization are of British origin, the non-british elements of our population hav ing failed to maintain their earlier type and allowed themselves to be assimilated to a type essentially British.

Download or read book On the Past Relations Between Great Britain and the United States Classic Reprint written by and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-02-15 with total page 64 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from On the Past Relations Between Great Britain and the United States Our commercial relations with the United States of America being now at an end, and the differences existing between the two countries having been brought to the decision of the sword, after wasting more than twenty years in unprofitable concessions, and fruitless negotiations, it would answer no good purpose to go over all the grounds of the many errors we have committed, in our various transactions with the govern ment of these States. The whole diplomatic intercourse of this long period, betrays such a spirit of encroachment and fraud, on the part of the American government, and such a system of forbearance and fluctuation on the part of the British, as has no parallel, perhaps, in the history of nations. It has been repeatedly shewn, by able and patriotic writers, that we were by our inconsistent conduct, tacitly renouncing, in favour of America, the great principles on our mari time code, and that too, in behalf of a people who met every concession made by the British government with insult and fresh menaces, and who, in proportion as their extortions were admitted, came, at length, to consider them as so many natural rights. The success of their continued encroachments, and the indiscriminate acquiescence in their demands, served only to increase the haughtiness and extent of their claims; until, availing themselves of the moment when Great Britain had to contend against the united force of all Europe, directed by the evil genius of France, their importunities ripened into an open declaration of war.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The British Empire and the United State: A Review of Their Relations During the Century of Peace Following the Treary of Ghent Under the happiest auspices and with the hearty co-operation of the leaders of opinion throughout the British Empire and in the United States, plans have been made for an adequate and dignified celebration of the im pressive fact that for one hundred years the English-speaking peoples throughout the world have been at peace with one another. The impressiveness of this fact is heightened by the circumstances leading up to and attending the American Revolution and by those which relate to the War of 1812. With the exception of the short contest of 1898 with Spain, which contest had its origin in purely American con ditions, the United States has been not only at peace, but usually in the friendliest possible relations with Germany, France, Russia, Italy, and the other nations of continental Europe. On the other hand, there have been many and frequent occasions when public opinion, either in Great Britain or in the United States, or in both, has been deeply stirred by some difference.

This book was released on 2017-10-11 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Correspondence on the Present Relations Between Great Britain and the United States of America The change has been particularly sad to me'and my friends, who had formed interesting friendships in what they loved to look upon as the mother-country. I know that I must have loved you, wherever I might have met you; but I doubt not that my friendship for you and others was heightened by the sentiment that we were of one race, and that our countries, in the chief essentials of Christian civilization (at least so far as New England was concerned), were the same. England was to me a hallowed spot; and I looked for ward to another visit there as among the hepes of the future. My whole intercourse with your countrymen had led me to believe that there was a cordial good will towards us, which every man should do his utmost to cultivate and extend. The consciousness of sup posed superiority, which few of them know how to conceal, and many are not aware of as appearing in their manners, sometimes amused, but never offended me; and, until ten months ago, no passport to my hospitality, - humble indeed, but hearty, and to that of my friends generally, was more sure than an introduction as a gentleman from England. This feeling had been of late growing throughout our country with surprising rapidity and strength. It was exhibited (i should have thought unmistakably) in the universal gratification expressed throughout the land in the opportunity to evince our national good will in the restoration of the Arctic ship the Reso lute in sending an expedition in search of Sir John Franklin; in raising our flags at half-mast when Ha velock fell; in contributions for Ireland; and in the reception of your Prince, which no observer could mistake as a popular excitement for a pageant merely, instead of seeing In it the exhibition of a downright hearty good-will to your Queen and people. Had She landed on our Shores, it would have been more feel ingly demonstrated; and no monarch, at home, could receive an ovation more grateful to a' generous and noble heart than she would have met with here.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Second Crisis of America: Or a Cursory View of the Peace, Lately Concluded Between Great Britain and the United States There is no event in the occurrences of times more important to nations than the transition from peace to the turbid scenes of war; or the recurrence from the struggles and deprivations attendant on that state, to the calm tranquillity of those visions of social comfort which peace generally invites. In the latter case, the soldier re signs his sword for the more genial instrument of art and industry - Relinquishes the discipline of camps and arduous marches to guide the plow on his native hills, or mix in the busy hum of cities. And the man who knit his brow, and felt the forces of his soul hardened to deeds of death and carnage, returns to the bosom of his family with smiles beaming on his countenance, and the milk of humanity at his heart. Such are the interesting eras which have latterly occurred in the history of these states. On the 17th day of June, 1812, war was declared by America against England, in consequence of a series of insults and aggressions which the spirit of forbearance could no longer brook, when repeated and various struggles for redress had been found ineffectual; and on the 18th day of February, 1815, a peace was ratified and exchange by the President, with our ancient enemy, upon the basis of a treaty which promises good faith, and an observance of equal rights.

Download or read book America and Britain Classic Reprint written by Andrew Cunningham McLaughlin and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-22 with total page 238 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from America and Britain As an admirer of Great Britain, I have felt free to speak quite openly and have not allowed myself merely to indulge in pleasantries and oratorical adulation. I have referred without reserve to the prejudices and misunderstand ings of the past, which we hope are now laid definitely aside, and I have not shrunk from giving my own opinion of Britain's errors. If I seem to dwell on them too much, it is because I have desired not to give the appearance of avoiding disagreeable truths or what, at least, I deem to be truths. It is a privilege to speak in a frank and friendly way to a tolerant and kindly people. The article called the Background of American Federalism may be of interest at the present time when so many persons in Brit ain are discussing federalism, and if correct in its analysis of the disputes of the American Revolution - as I am confident after many years of study it is - it discloses, not only that the old British Empire is the source of the central principle of federalism, but also that the politi cal problem now holding the attention of Brit ish students and men of affairs is in its es sence of very long standing.

This book was released on 2017-12-23 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the Late War, Between the United States and Great Britain: Containing a Minute Account of the Various Military and Naval Operations, Illustrated With Plates The obstinate persistance of Great Britain in her pre tensions to this prerogative, first broke the ties of depen dence, which it was so much her interest to preserve, and her subsequent illiberal policy, has tended to weaken the influence of affinity, which a true wisdom would have taught her to cherish. Why is it that the enmity of those, between whom there naturally exist the most numerous bonds of friendship, is the most bitter? It is because each of these is a distinct cord which may vibrate to the feelings of hatred, as well as of love. With China, with Turkey, with France, we may be governed by temporary and varying policy, but towards England we can never feel indifference. Why then has England taken so much pains, to make us hate her as a nation? The grievances of which we have to complain, by frequent recital, have grown wearisome to the car. There always existed, and still exist, numerous ties to attach us to Britain, which nothing but her ungenerous and unnatural policy, can weaken or destroy. Her wisest and best men foretold to her, the consequences of the usurpations which led to our independence, and yet she still continued to afflict us, with every species of irritating and insulting deport ment, and then at last complained of our unnatural con duct, in refusing to bear it any lon er.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sword of the Spirit: Britain and America in the Great War F the City Temple has been an international Shrine almost from the beginning of its history, it is doubly so to-day, not alone from the fact that its present Minister is an American citizen, but still more because of the reunion of English speaking peoples drawn together by a common peril and a common ideal. The call of an American preacher to so famous a pulpit was itself an overture of friend ship of good-will, and was so understood by men of all creeds in America; and in obedience to that spirit the Minister himself has been led to conceive of his responsibility in a two-fold aspect - as a Christian Ambassador and an Interpreter of one nation to another. But since these two great people are really one, having a common genius and a common historic inheritance, these two Offices are also one, since we can best understand each other in the Christian at mosphere, which is the spirit of fraternity.
