Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Republic or Empire? The preface to the contents of this pamphlet, much of which had been published before imperialism had been as clearly defined as it now, and by the debates in the last Congress in which so many competent lawyers partici pated, has been prepared at the request of the Democratic State Committee of New York. The Democratic National Convention declared at Kansas City that the burning issue of imperialism, growing out of the Spanish war, involves the very existence of the Republic, and the destruction of our free institutions. We regard it as the paramount issue of the campaign.' Thereafter the issue could not be evaded. The Republican Campaign Text Book, recently issued by the Republican National Committee, has emphasized it as supreme, and attempted its definition.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Empire State: A Compendious History of the Commonwealth of New York Several years ago the author of this work received a letter from the late Hon. Horatio Seymour, urging him to supply a conspicuous literary want by writing a compendious history of the State of New York, and illustrating it after the manner of his Pictorial Field-Book of the Revolution. No work of the kind was then in existence, nor has there been since. It has been the chief aim of the author, in the preparation of this work, to embody in one volume, of moderate size and price, a complete outline narrative of the principal events in the career of the Commonwealth of New York from its inception to the close of the first century of our Republic (1875), so compact, as a whole, that its purchase and perusal will not burden the purses or the leisure of a vast proportion of our people. As much space has been given to notices of historic events outside of the State of New York as seemed necessary to continually present the Commonwealth to the mind of the reader as a most important part of the great Republic of the West.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Genoa: How the Republic Rose and Fell The history of a powerful naval and commercial commonwealth, which indeed occupied but a small speck of Europe but which through its colonies and research spread an influence over the then known world, must be regarded by the Anglo-Saxon race with especial interest, as forming one of the steps in that ladder of progress by which we have succeeded in attaining such a pitch of commercial prosperity. Beneath us on this ladder are the Dutch, Hanseatic, Portuguese, Venetian, and Genoese steps, each and all assisting us out of that maze of barbarism which was incident on the fall of the Roman Empire. The Italian Republics were the first to succeed in substantially gathering together the threads of commerce which had been known to the old world of Ph nician, Greek, and Roman merchants, and when this firm foothold had once been re-established, the upward progress was greatly simplified. Pisa and Amalfi were amongst the first to assist in this direction, but Pisa and Amalfi fell powerless before more than mere local prosperity had been attained.

Download or read book Republic Or Empire written by James W. Stillman and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 36 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Republic or Empire?: An Argument in Opposition to the Establishment of an American Colonial System One of the various arguments which are advanced by the advocates and the supporters of the President's policy of territorial expansion is that the commercial interests of the United States imperatively demand that the markets of the old world should be thrown open to our surplus products. This is the principal ground upon which Senator Beveridge of Indiana, in his recent speech in the Senate, sought to justify the war which the Federal administration is now waging against the inhabitants of the Philippine Islands. As this speech is said correctly to represent the views of the President and of his coadjutors, it is worthy of more serious consideration than it would command were it merely an expression of the individual opinions of its author; and for that reason the writer of this article will inquire whether or not a colonial system can be inaugurated by the United States consistently with the fundamental principles upon which our Government was founded. Conceding for the purpose of this discussion the truth of all that the Senator has said concerning the great advantages which would accrue to our people by creating an increased demand for their manufactures and other products among the inhabitants of our so-called "new possessions," the question as to how a colonial system can be established or maintained under our Constitution as it now reads must first be considered; for no legislation by Congress which is contrary to the provisions of, or is forbidden by, that instrument can be valid and binding upon our citizens. If, after a careful examination thereof, it should appear that such a system is authorized thereby, we may then decide whether or not it ought to be adopted; and if we should be convinced that colonies would be advantageous to us we may proceed to establish them.

Download or read book The Breakdown of the Roman Republic written by Christopher S. Mackay and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2012-06-18 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this book, Christopher Mackay recounts the last century of the Roman Republic in a readable, narrative treatment. Within this narrative he analyzes the breakdown of the traditional Republican form of government as a result of the administrative and political crises brought about by the Roman conquest of the Mediterranean basin in the Middle Republic. He also shows how the many reforms instituted by Augustus, which effectively created the new imperial form of government, were a reaction to the failings of the Republic. Illustrated with an extensive collection of coin images that document the changes in contemporary political ideology, this volume also focuses on the political significance of the key personalities, including Marius, Sulla, and Caesar, who played a large role in the events that lead to the demise of the Roman Republic.

Download or read book Empire of Liberty written by Gordon S. Wood and published by Oxford University Press. This book was released on 2009-10-28 with total page 800 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Oxford History of the United States is by far the most respected multi-volume history of our nation. The series includes three Pulitzer Prize winners, two New York Times bestsellers, and winners of the Bancroft and Parkman Prizes. Now, in the newest volume in the series, one of America's most esteemed historians, Gordon S. Wood, offers a brilliant account of the early American Republic, ranging from 1789 and the beginning of the national government to the end of the War of 1812. As Wood reveals, the period was marked by tumultuous change in all aspects of American life--in politics, society, economy, and culture. The men who founded the new government had high hopes for the future, but few of their hopes and dreams worked out quite as they expected. They hated political parties but parties nonetheless emerged. Some wanted the United States to become a great fiscal-military state like those of Britain and France; others wanted the country to remain a rural agricultural state very different from the European states. Instead, by 1815 the United States became something neither group anticipated. Many leaders expected American culture to flourish and surpass that of Europe; instead it became popularized and vulgarized. The leaders also hope to see the end of slavery; instead, despite the release of many slaves and the end of slavery in the North, slavery was stronger in 1815 than it had been in 1789. Many wanted to avoid entanglements with Europe, but instead the country became involved in Europe's wars and ended up waging another war with the former mother country. Still, with a new generation emerging by 1815, most Americans were confident and optimistic about the future of their country. Named a New York Times Notable Book, Empire of Liberty offers a marvelous account of this pivotal era when America took its first unsteady steps as a new and rapidly expanding nation.
