Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Government of the United States, Vol. 2 From the heights the Americans saw and heard the bustle of preparation. Repeated messages were sent to General Ward for the promised reinforcements. Putnam hurried to Cambridge to urge the demand in person. Ward hesitated lest he should weaken the main division. It was eleven o'clock before Stark and Reed, with their regiments, were ordered to the relief of Prescott, and the wearied soldiers, who had been laboring all night at the redoubt. About noon, twenty eight barges filled with soldiers, under the command of Generals Howe and Pigott, left Boston. The ships kept up an incessant cannonade to cover their landing. General Howe discovered that the works were stronger than he anticipated, and he sent to General Gage for reinforcements his men, while waiting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the United States of America, Vol. 2: With a Continuation, Including the Presidencies of Pierce and Buchanan Georgetown, in the district of Columbia, gave shelter to the fugitive editor of The Federal Republican; and there he continued to print, and thence to issue his newspaper; until, partly for the purpose of effecting (if possible) its re-establishment in Baltimore, but principally that he might more em phatically protest against that violent infringement of his liberty - both personal and political - he obtained the use of a house as a place of publication there; but still printing the journal at Georgetown. Having ascertained that the constituted guardians of order, and protectors of the liberties of the citizens, either because they were overawed by the mob, or because they shared their madness, would not defend him, Hanson con verted his house into a fortress, and prepared for a siege in the same manner as we have seen the holders of many a blockhouse in the forest wilderness of the remote West preparing, when the scouts had discovered that there were Indians near. He was assisted by Generals Henry Lee and Lingan, the former not an undistinguished person in the country, for he had been governor of Virginia; and of unimpeachable patriotism, for he had fought bravely against the British in the revolutionary war. Lingan had fought in the same war; and Lee has for us the additional recommendation of having been a close friend of Washington.\ They, with others, joined Hanson, resolved to defend his house to the last, if it should be assaulted; and we can only regret that, since such was their temper, and such the circumstances of peril they were placed in, the house was not surrounded by a sufficient stockade, as well as occupied by gallant men. It was the 27th of July, and in the evening the mob appeared before the office of Hanson's paper, and, as it seems, without parley, commenced an attack upon it with stones. Disregarding a warning from the garrison to depart, the besiegers continued, until they had forced open the door, when they were fired upon, and one of their number fell dead, many others being badly wounded, of whom one died afterwards. Beaten back thus, the mob sent for a cannon and meanwhile, the city authorities, with undoubted civic bravery and despatch, besides those less venerable qualities before alluded to, had sent out a troop of the mounted militia, to make a show, at least, of acting in the name of the law. The commander of this rather questionable force did, by his persuasive oratory, prevail upon the rioters not to use their gun; but instead of dispersing them, they exhorted the beleaguered editor and his little band to surrender themselves, and be conducted to the prison, as a place of refuge and safety. They, receiving the assurance of the chief magistrate of the city that they should be protected, and being, moreover, both wearied and wounded by the assault, unwisely yielded to the summons.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The United States of America, Vol. 2: From the Civil War To do justice to these chief problems of our history since the Civil War - the grievances of the agrarian West, the amazing growth of industry with its effects upon the relations between capital and labor and between the government and big business, and the summons to America to play a part in the common task of world stabilization commensurate with her power and pre's tige - requires far greater emphasis upon economic and inter national topics than. They received in Volume I. For the rest, the present volume follows its predecessor closely in structure and purpose. The author has sought to present the material in form and treatment sufficiently mature to give the college student the sense of a new and more exacting method of approach to American history, rather than merely to repeat in fuller detail, but on essentially the same plane, the facts which he learned in school; to emphasize continuity by developing important move ments in a topical, evolutionary treatment, rather than adhering too strictly to a chronological scheme which would tend to distribute the material in annalistic fragments; and to give vividness to the narration by emphasizing the personality of the outstanding figures of the period (who, after all, make the history) and letting them tell the story to a considerable extent in their own words.

This book was released on 2018-02-11 with total page 430 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Barnes' Popular History of the United States of America, Vol. 2 The situation was peculiar, unlike any other that the history of the world had shown. Most, if not all, the nations of the earth had grown up by degrees from small beginnings. Here was one that was to spring into existence, a first-class power almost from its birth. The material was ready at hand and far removed from the influence or control of the older nations. The event showed that, as God had prepared the work, so had He laborers compe tent to perform it. They builded, and builded even stronger than they knew. On the 23d of December, less than a month after the evacua tion of New York, Washington resigned his commission as com mander-in-chief of the army and returned to his home at Mount Vernon. He had given many proofs of his patriotism, but one of the greatest was his refusal to receive any compensation for his eight years of service at the head of the army. It detracts nothing from the quality of the sentiment involved that, being rich through his marriage with Mrs. Custis, he could afford this gift to his country. He simply asked the reimbursement of his expenses, an exact account of which he had kept, drawn up by his own hand, and now presented to the government. The situation of affairs, although peace had now come, was by no means flattering to the future of the States. The Articles of Confederation, under which they had been acting during the war, were mere shadows unless sustained by a common danger or the entire willingness of all concerned. In case of any conflict of interest, they were ineffective for adjustment or control. They gave Congress authority to declare everything, but to do noth ing. They did not act at all upon the people of the country, except through the several States, and it depended entirely upon the Legislatures whether the measures adopted by Congress should be carried out. Many of them were silently disregarded; many were slowly and reluctantly obeyed; and some were openly and boldly defied.

This book was released on 2015-07-12 with total page 460 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Defence of the Constitutions of Government of the United States of America, Vol. 2 Limited monarchies were the ancient governments: the jealousies and errors of the nobles, or the oppression they sutrered, stimulated them to render monarchy unpopular, and erect aristocracies. Ancient nations were, in one point, very generally defective in their constitutions, and that was the incertitude of the constitution, and, by consequence, the instability of government, which was, in all the republics of Italy, a perpetual occasion of infinite confessions. In no part of Italy, however united together, was found established an absolute hereditary monarch. By many examples, it is manifest, that kings either were created by the favor of the multitude, or sought at least their consent, and conflated the people in affairs of molt importance and greatest danger. The government of the grandees, which succeeded, was rather a fraudulent or violent usurpation, than a true and proper aristocracy established by law, or confirmed by long and uncontested ponession; and a popular government was never so free, or so durable, as when it was mixed with the authority of one supreme head, or of a fen-ate; so that mixed governments were almost always preferred. One of the three kinds of governments nevertheless sell, when another arose; and all the Italian republics, nearly at one time, by the fame gradations, palled from one form, of administration to another.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History and Topography of the United States of America, Vol. 2 In its utmost reach, the territory of the United States extended from N. Lat. Or 24 the southern extremity of Florida, to N. Lat. 54 the extreme north of the district of Oregon; and from the 67th to the 125th degree of west longitude from Greenwich: It was bounded on the north by British America; on the west by the Pacific Ocean to the 42nd degree of latitude; on the south by the republic of Mexico (such as it was originally, after it became independent of Spain) and the Mexican Gulf, and on the east by the Atlantic Ocean. This might well be called an immense region. Its mean length from east to west was 2,500'miles, and its mean breadth from north to south 830. Its line of boundary extended, according to Darby, to miles, of which were sea-coast; and its area comprehended square miles, exceeding by a small fraction one-twentieth part of the land surface of the earth.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the United States, Vol. 2: A Century of Colonial History, 1660-1760 The prompt action of the new government and the Convention Parliament in pushing on the passage of the Navigation Act was due to the financial straits of the new rulers, and to the pressure which the mercantile and in dustrial classes put upon them.3 In those days, mer chants, land owners, and men of education were united in believing that the exploitation Of colonists for the benefit of the people of the mother country was right and proper. Such a policy does not indicate that they were actuated by a spirit of despotism or disregard of colonial interests, but simply that they were living in the days when the existence Of colonies could only be defended on business grounds. Moreover, the system that comes to be outlined in the navigation laws and acts of trade was a system Of intraimperial free trade and preference for Eng lish products, which reminds one of the policy of the United States two hundred and fifty years later.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of America, Vol. 1 of 2 IN fulfilling the engagement which I have come under to the public With respect to the History of America, it was my intention not to have published any part of the work until the whole was completed.
