Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Building of the Nation Mr. President and Gentlemen of the Associated Press: - For the honor of the invitation to be your guest I am deeply sensible, and for that honor I wish first to express my grateful appreciation. It is no small compliment to be permitted to speak at a time like this to a great company of men, drawn from all parts of our nation, representing every shade of opinion, who are single-minded in their devotion to truth and to its interpretation as they see and understand it, and in their devotion to our common America. In this presence of men of affairs, so closely in touch with the movement of opinion all over the world, accustomed to guide, to express, to formulate it, there is nothing that I can possibly say that you do not already know. But I remember that it is out of the reflections of individuals, and out of their reaction to the changing course of events that first public opinion and then history is made. If any significance be attached to what I shall briefly say in your presence, it can only be because it represents the attempt of one American who feels keenly the responsibility of his country and of its entire citizenship at this moment when the world stands at a crossroads in its path of progress. If we stand at that crossroads irresolute, paralyzed of word and will, history will have one story to tell.

Download or read book The South in the Building of the Nation Vol 8 of 12 Classic Reprint written by Southern Historical Publication Society and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-07-07 with total page 534 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The South in the Building of the Nation, Vol. 8 of 12 The selections from the writings of Southern novelists and story-writers found in this volume have an absolute value from the standpoint of pure fiction. In some cases short stories have been given in full, while the selections from novels have an inherent interest independent of the complete stories. They serve also as an interpretation of various phases of Southern life; for this reason, longer selections have been made from Kennedy's Swallow Barn and Baldwin's Flush Times in Alabama and Mississippi than would otherwise have been given. Furthermore, a certain unity may be seen in the volume in that it suggests the main tendencies of Southern fiction and the characteristics of some distinct groups of writers. If there should seem to be an undue proportion of ante-bellum fiction, it must be borne in mind that the earlier writings are inaccessible to the general reader, either because they are now out of print or are found only in expensive editions. A sufficient reason for the absence of some recent writings is that the publishers have in some cases refused the right to use selections, and in other cases have limited the publishers of this volume to very fragmentary selections. It is particularly to be regretted that for this reason selections could not be given from Richard Malcolm Johnston and Mr. James Lane Allen, though there is some compensation in the case of the latter in the admirable study by the late Professor John Bell Henneman.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The South in the Building of the Nation, Vol. 2 of 12: A History of the Southern States Designed to Record the South's Part in the Making of the American Nation In the year 1524 Giovanni Verrazano, a native of Florence, Italy, was sent across the Atlantic by Francis I., of France. Verrazano reached the American coast at a point near the mouth of the Cape Fear River, North Carolina. He coasted thence southward fifty leagues in search of a harbor. This voyage, of course, brought him to the region now known as South Carolina. The whole shore, runs Verrazano's description of the country, is covered with fine sand about-fifteen feet thick, rising in the form of little hills about fifteen paces broad. Ascending farther, we found several arms of the sea, which make in through inlets, washing the shores on both sides as the coast runs. He speaks, also, of immense forests of trees, more or less dense, too various in color and too delightful and charming in appearance to be described. They are adorned with palms, laurels, cypresses and other varieties unknown to Europe, that send forth the sweetest fragrance to a great distance.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Secret of Progress Buckle1 regarded it as clear that militarism and high intellectual development were not compatible: till recently, many people were prepared to believe that warfare was alien to the interest of civilised peoples and could only occur among half civilised or backward races. But this war has shown that these hopes were vain, and that the last result of civilisation was not to render war impossible, but to give the means of carrying it out on a vastly extended scale. The increase of knowledge and of power over nature, and the sense of the benefits of intercourse and inter-communication have not sufficed to give us any immunity from war.

This book was released on 2015-07-02 with total page 738 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The South in the Building of the Nation, Vol. 6 Economically as well as politically the South was prostrate when her armies surrendered in 1865. For the next ten years, or during the Reconstruction period, the conditions which existed prevented or hindered normal recovery from the effects of war. Before the war the South was a distinct economic region with problems and conditions unlike those of the free states. This condition was generally considered one of the results of slavery, but the abolition of the slave-labor system failed to change radically the economic peculiarities of the South. In 1865 industrial society scarcely existed in the South. The great loss of life and health by the whites in the war, the destruction of the slave-labor system, the suffering and destitution which existed during the last years of the war and for several years after the surrender, the destruction of property during the war, the loss of capital, the bankruptcy of the state and local governments all these unfavorable conditions bore heavily upon the desolated country. Public property was, for the most part destroyed or confiscated because it had been used by the Confederate government.

In addition, others have been included as of a representative or typical nature. The limitations of space forbid the treatment of all important per sons, hence the Omission of some individuals rather prominent, especially in recent times. The average man of ability in the year 1800 exercised a stronger shaping in uence than a man of the same qualities in 1900. Consequently fuller treatment is given the early leaders. The value of the work then is in its accuracy and in the sympathetic point of View of the writers, in the adequacy of treatment and in the completion of the general history by this biographical history of the South, a section where character, personality and individuality have always counted for so much. There is no better source of inspiration than the characters and achievements of these Southern men and women, who were the best products of the South, the rich fruitage of the Southern civilization.

Download or read book Nation Building written by Andreas Wimmer and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2018-05-01 with total page 374 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new and comprehensive look at the reasons behind successful or failed nation building Nation Building presents bold new answers to an age-old question. Why is national integration achieved in some diverse countries, while others are destabilized by political inequality between ethnic groups, contentious politics, or even separatism and ethnic war? Traversing centuries and continents from early nineteenth-century Europe and Asia to Africa from the turn of the twenty-first century to today, Andreas Wimmer delves into the slow-moving forces that encourage political alliances to stretch across ethnic divides and build national unity. Using datasets that cover the entire world and three pairs of case studies, Wimmer’s theory of nation building focuses on slow-moving, generational processes: the spread of civil society organizations, linguistic assimilation, and the states’ capacity to provide public goods. Wimmer contrasts Switzerland and Belgium to demonstrate how the early development of voluntary organizations enhanced nation building; he examines Botswana and Somalia to illustrate how providing public goods can bring diverse political constituencies together; and he shows that the differences between China and Russia indicate how a shared linguistic space may help build political alliances across ethnic boundaries. Wimmer then reveals, based on the statistical analysis of large-scale datasets, that these mechanisms are at work around the world and explain nation building better than competing arguments such as democratic governance or colonial legacies. He also shows that when political alliances crosscut ethnic divides and when most ethnic communities are represented at the highest levels of government, the general populace will identify with the nation and its symbols, further deepening national political integration. Offering a long-term historical perspective and global outlook, Nation Building sheds important new light on the challenges of political integration in diverse countries.
