The Puritans, dwelling in the more rigorous climate Of the North, were positive in their convictions, industrious, frugal, and strong in their mental and physical development. In the South there was a courteous, chivalrous, brave people, devotedly attached to their traditions and customs, and proud of their ancestry and Of their achievements.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the United States of America, Vol. 5: From the Discovery of the Continent The arrow had sped when Lord Howe entered upon the scene with his commission for restoring peace. As a naval officer, he added experience and skill to phlegmatic courage. Naturally taciturn, his manner of expressing himself was con fused. His profile resembled that of his grandfather, George I.; his complexion was very dark; his grim features had no stamp of superiority; but his face wore an expression of serene and passive fortitude. As unsuspicious as he was brave, he sincerely designed to act as a mediator; and indulged in visions of riding about the country, conversing with its prin cipal inhabitants, and restoring the king's authority by methods of moderation and concession. At Halifax he told Admiral Arbuthnot that peace would be made within ten days after his arrival. With a simplicity which speaks for his sincerity, he had not discovered how completely his powers were circum scribed. He could pardon individuals on their return to the king's protection, and could grant an amnesty to insurgent communities which should lay down their arms and dissolve their governments. The only further privilege which his long altercation wrung from the ministry was a vague permission to converse with private men on their alleged grievances and to report their Opinions; but he could not promise that their complaints would be heeded; and he was strictly forbidden to treat with the continental congress, or any provincial congress, or any civil or military officer holding their commission.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of the United States of America, Vol. 5: Under the Constitution Whether the pleasant labor of these many years be well or ill performed, I may claim without inordinate vanity that the first era of our national and independent exist ence has been traced out for the first time, and the long intervening chasm bridged from the Revolution to the Civil War, with historical painstaking, in the five volumes of the present work. Others may have undertaken the task, but they have not (so far as I am aware) performed it; nor have I profited in any way by their investigations, whether conducted before or after me. Something of careful, consecutive research for fulk three quarters of a century is required to bring the two grand revolutions of American annals into their fit correlation. I now lay down the historical pen, not meaning to take it up again; though, if full vigor and Opportunity were spared, I should be glad to add one more volume so as to bring the narrative to 1865; but the literature of the Civil War is already very great, and I am admonished, at my time of life, not to attempt to add to it. History is a tale never ended; and the narrator is wise who knows when he has reached his resting-place. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Country, Vol. 5 of 8: A History of the United States, From the Discovery of America to the Present Time During these proceedings Congress sat with closed doors. The bill passed the House of Representatives by a vote of 79 to 49, and the Senate by 19 to 13. It immediately became a law by receiving the signature of the President. Two days afterward - the lgth of June, 1812 - Mr. Madison issued a proclamation in which be formally declared war against the offend ing government and people. The conflict that ensued is known in history as the War of 1812, and may properly be regarded as our Second War for Independence, for until the end of that contest the United States were only nominally free. The people, blessed with prosperity and happy in the pur suit of the arts of peace, dreaded war, and submitted to many acts of oppression and insult from Great Britain and France, rather than appeal to the arbitrament of the sword. Commercially, and in a great degree socially, the people of the United States were dependent upon Europe, and espe cially upon England; and the latter was, at that time, rapidly acquiring a dangerous political interest here. The war began in 1775, was really only the first great step toward independence; the war begun in 1812, first thoroughly accomplished it. The chief causes for declaring war were the impressment of American seamen by the British; the blockade of French ports without adequate force to sustain the act; the orders in councils, and the incitement of the savages to hostilities.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States of America, Vol. 4 of 5: A Pictorial History of the American Nation From the Earliest Discoveries and Settlements to the Present Time That portion of the history of the United States which has developed since 1870 may be properly termed the commercial period. Prior to that date the people were occupied in exploration and discovery, the establishment of permanent homes, methods of government, and the great questions that precipitated the struggle between sections, known as the Civil War. With the termination of that struggle the people of the common Union began to realize the great commercial possibilities of their country - a country whose area, including Alaska, added in 1867, was practically.equal to that of all Europe. When the Civil War began in 1861, comparatively little was known about the great section lying west of the Mississippi and Missouri rivers. A few railroads had stretched as far west as the Mississippi River, and a small number of enterprising lines had found their way across that stream and were feeling their way into the then thinly populated section west of the Mississippi. The railroads of the United States in i 860 aggregated but 30,000 miles in length, or about one-seventh as much as to-day, and the cost of transporting a bushel of wheat from Chicago to New York was about five times as great as at the present time. As a consequence, millions of acres of fine agricultural lands in the interior were unoccupied, or utilized only for grazing purposes. The importance of the development of these great interior sections and of a connection of the western with the eastern coast had been realized during the years of the Civil War, and as a result of legislation begun in 1863 and consummated in 1864, the Union and Central Pacific railroads were begun and the work completed in 1869, thus giving to the country in that year a single transcontinental line. Other lines in the interior, which soon followed, gave opportunity for the gradual development of the producing power of that great section of the country which had been practically unoccupied and a part of which had been formerly designated as "The Great American Desert."

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States of America, Vol. 1 of 5: A Pictorial History of the American Nation From the Earliest Discoveries and Settlements to the Present Time Not less wonderful is the story of the subsequent growth of the Colonies, of the many incidents attending the War of 1812, of the Mexican War, and Of the tremendous struggle to save the Union. Although strife and war have played a very conspicuous part in the growth of our country, yet we must not forget that we have enjoyed many years of peace and prosperity, and the extraordinary progress we have made during the last hundred years or more has astonished the world and even ourselves. No nation to-day is making history more rapidly than the United States. Especially true is this of the closing years of the nineteenth and the opening years Of the twentieth centuries. Our short but decisive war with Spain focussed on us the attention of the civilized world, and started us on that career of wider participation in international affairs which, for good or for evil, we must henceforth pursue. How we shall discharge the obliga tions we have assumed only time can show; but the sterling qualities of the national character will undoubtedly in the end guide the nation to lofty ends and make it the defender of the weak and the champion of justice among the peoples. In the broad domain Of humanity, in the ever widening fields of invention, discovery, science, art, education and literature, and in fact of all that tends to make the life of a nation truly great, the United States of America stands to-day in the front ranks. This wonderful national and material development of the country should at least inspire us to a more earnest and intelligent study of its wonderful history, which cannot fail to be of the most instructive and profoundly interesting character to every patriotic citizen, especially to the rising generation of our beloved country - the home of Washington and of Lincoln.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Narrative and Critical History of America, Vol. 5: Part II In framing regulations for the observance of the colonists, and in ma turing plans most conducive to the prosperity and permanence of the contemplated settlement, the trustees regarded each male inhabitant both as a planter and as a soldier. Hence, provision was made for supplying him with arms and with agricultural tools. Towns, in their inception, were reckoned as garrisons. Consequently the lands allotted for tillage were to be in their immediate neighborhood, so that in seasons of alarm the inhabi tants might speedily betake themselves thither for safety and mutual pro tection. Fifty acres were adjudged sufficient for the support of a planter and his family. Grants in tail-male were declared preferable to any other tenure. The introduction and use of spirituous liquors were forbidden. Unless sanctioned by special license, traffic with the natives was prohibited. The trustees saw fit also to forbid the importation, ownership, and use of negro slaves within the limits of the province of Georgia. Provision was made for the cultivation of the mulberry tree and the breeding of silk worms. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States of America, Vol. 3 of 5: A Pictorial History of the American Nation From the Earliest Discoveries and Settlements to the Present Time Dr. Harris has in a few sentences brought together the more important points in Revolutionary History which it is desirable for every student to bear in mind. And Dr. Harris has shown admirably well how desirable it is that a young American should be acquainted, even in some detail, with the great passages of the history of his country. The history of what we wisely call "The Revolution" differs from any other passage of written history, not simply in the greatness of the future depending upon that struggle, but in the character of the struggle itself. The points which became important at one time or another were as far apart as Quebec on the North and Florida on the South, while the range of military operations westward went as far as the distance from the ocean to the Mississippi River and the Great Lakes of the Northwest. In this immense region for seven years of actual warfare, and for ten years preceding that warfare, there were operations going forward, all more or less important, which come particularly into the larger history of the time. It is, therefore, very seldom that any passage of history, however important, is to be studied from so many different points of view. In conducting this study, the young American reader has some points of great advantage, and there are some lines of distinct disadvantage, when one compares his study with that of any other period of fifteen or twenty years. It seems desirable to consider this peculiarity of the study before one goes into a careful narrative of events between 1762 and 1783. The first of the difficulties which attend the study of this twenty years is well stated by President John Adams in one of his journals, written before he dreamed of the great future which was before him. He says substantially, that when we examine some written diary of the past it almost always appears that men write careful diaries when they have nothing else to do, but that when they are eagerly occupied in every hour of every day, they have no time to keep up their diaries. This has proved pathetically true in the history of the Thirteen States and of the War with England as the great events of the Revolution went forward. Literally, there were almost no professional soldiers engaged on the American side of the great struggle. General Washington, in one of his early despatches, says that in the whole of his army at the place where he wrote there were not two men who had ever seen more than two regiments of troops on parade or in line of battle.
