Book excerpt: Excerpt from Progress of Canada in the Century To this school of historical thought men of a hundred years ago should have acted exactly as men at the end of this century would act - no matter how different the conditions and environment. To these writers, for instance, the Loyalists were simply a band of Tories bent upon fettering the minds of the people in the swaddling clothes of state-churchism and under the personal control of an interested oli garchy. In the dense clouds of controversy thus raised it has been too often forgotten that they were, incidentally, the founders of the English part of the Canadian commonwealth, the preservers of its youthful institutions from the aggressive influence of United States democracy, the conservators of British ideals and principles in this northern part of the American continent, the sufferers from pioneer hardships, dangers and difficulties, so severe and so numerous as to have merited for them a per manent place in any Valhalla of the world's patriot ism. So also with other important matters. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
