Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of North America It has been the constant aim of the author to preserve a careful impartiality in dealing with matters of difference of view, and to give no judgment for which he has not been able to offer a sanctioning fact for its source. The men of those times were, like the men of the present, serious and in the main sincere, and faced complex problems for whose solutions they could not furnish the needed wisdom. The new day which Jefferson introduced, and to which Madison fell heir, was indeed unique. While it grew out of the old and was organically part of the early life of the nation, it was very properly regarded by many as in a true sense another era. The story of the period might well be entitled; How democracy interpreted nationality. Looking back with fuller knowledge and clearer vision we can now unveil what was hidden to the men of the period under review, and declare in categorical terms what to them was insoluble. They often misjudged each other; we can afford neither to overrate nor to decry. What was to them problematical has to us all the marks of an inevitable evolution.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of North America, Vol. 17: The Rise of the New South The author of the present volume has felt the inspiration and the necessary repression incident to his division of the history of North America. Himself a native of the South and in close touch with the tremendous advance that has excited well-nigh as great admiration as did the heroism of the South in the Civil War, an active participant, indeed, in the movement that has made the South of to-day, he is peculiarly fitted to write upon the subject assigned to him. His personal knowledge has given him the point of view of the Southerner, and the training in analytical investigation which enabled him to produce the histories associated with his name has caused him to extend his field of observation to all accessible data.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the United States of North America, Vol. 3: From the Discovery of the Western World to the Present Day Undoubtedly, the case of the Essex J unto against the Administration, respecting this arrangement, was a strong one. The instructions sent to Erskine were shown to the American minister at London, in extenso, and it is hardly to be supposed that he could have failed to communicate their contents to the government at Washington. And on the other hand, if Madison and his Secretary were actually ignorant on this point, no good excuse can be presented for them - they ought to have known the extent of the minister's powers before they entered upon the negotiation.

Download or read book The History of North America written by Guy Carleton Lee and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2015-06-25 with total page 642 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of North America, Vol. 16 Reconstruction is the name given to the decade following the Civil War. In most minds the word associates itself with one dominant act, - the elevation of the negro race, in America, to civil and political equality with the white race. This change was a revolution in thought and in government: it came suddenly, imperiously and irrevocably. If by an act of thought one could eliminate the negro race from American history, it would be impossible to conceive of a period of "reconstruction" in the order of events on this continent. Reconstruction thus taking its meaning from the presence of the negro race in America, and from the relation of that race to the white race, it follows that the history of reconstruction coincides with the course of events which determined the relation between the two races. So long as slavery continued in America, the amelioration of the condition of the negro was individual and exceptional, - not general and regular. Many restrictions, other than those inseparable from a state of slavery, limited the extension of the suffrage to the negro. Even in free States in which it was legally possible, as in New York before 1868, for the negro to become a voter, public sentiment was hostile to the innovation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of North America, Vol. 13: The Growth of the Nation, 1837 to 1860 In the present volume, however, we have other points of stress. The personal element gives place to party rule principles and not men play the leading part in directing national affairs. The material progress of the people save in isolated instances, runs in the directions, even if it does not follow the grooves, established by the years of the first period of Growth; policies strike out independent orbits; measures burst the trammels set upon them during the years ending with 18 37 - it is the era of change in political movements.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of North America, Vol. 8: The Louisiana Purchase and the Westward Movement A few of these arguments had root in the controversies that had attended the creation of the States Of Tennessee and Kentucky and in the organization of the Northwest Territory, but the case of Louisiana differed radically from that of either the trans-alleghany States or the Northwest. In the former instance, we find the question one of the acquisition of foreign territory bearing a foreign population with alien manners, laws, and language; the other was a matter of the organization Of territory that belonged to the original States and was inhabited for the most part by men from those States. But the argument Of expediency was, after all, the deciding one; and for a few millions of dollars, less, in fact, than the productions for one year of the least of the States formed from it, was the Louisiana Purchase made a part of the possessions of the United States.

Download or read book The History of North America, Vol. 1 written by Alfred Brittain and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-12-19 with total page 592 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of North America, Vol. 1: Discovery and Exploration The statement that we have quoted in our opening para graph but voiced the need that was appreciated throughout the scholastic world. All students desired*a comprehen sive history of America. The stimulus given to historical writing by the lack of such a work found result in the activity of many authors, but, curiously enough, not in at tempts to produce the work needed, but to supply mate rials from which it might be constructed. For example, the last quarter of the nineteenth century was prolific in historical monographs and treatises. Hundreds of well equipped students with valuable resources at their command collected and gave to the world the product of their re search - the data buried in source material. These mono graphic publications, usually written in the form of theses, were of a nature to preclude their wide circulation; they were strictly academic in style and were of no interest to the general reader and, because of their restricted field, of comparatively narrow value to the historian. Yet this monographic literature must not be underestimated, for it was of great value to the limited number of historians seeking information upon the particular subject treated by the monographist. But the theses did not go far toward solving the problem of the production of a comprehensive history. The treatises were a step further in that direction. They were, it is true, limited in scope, but that limitation was not so destructive to their popularity as in the case of the thesis literature, for they were broader in treatment and had more or less perspective. The majority of such publi cations were accurate and had in them elements of interest. Textbooks were published in abundance, but from their nature they cannot be included among comprehensive his tories, nor can those standard and scholarly works upon limited historical periods, which have at infrequent intervals during the last twenty-five years been welcomed by students. During the period under consideration a few general his tories have been published. These are confessedly sketchy, and, with only two exceptions, they have not been written by men of standing among scholars. In these two in stances, the authors have been handicapped by the limits of space and by the fact that no one man is able to write from his own knowledge of the details of American history in the whole, and within the limits imposed by the com mercial necessities of publication produce by his own re search a comprehensive history of the United States, to say nothing of that of North America. A writer undertaking the task must depend on secondary authorities; and, as a rule, he incorporates most of their errors along with their correct statements of fact. No more glaring example of this fallibility of historical writers attempting a task too large can be found than in a recent pretentious general his tory in the compilation of which the author was obliged by the circumstances of production to depend largely on secondary authorities, with the result that more than five hundred errors have been discovered in a single volume.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of the United States of North America, Vol. 2 of 4: From the Plantation of the British Colonies Till Their Assumption of National Independence His colonial policy is thus contrasted by an old writer, with that of Chief. Justice Popham, the promoter of the first attempts to colonize New England Judge Popham and Sir George Calvert agreed not more unanimously in the public design of planting, than they differed in the private way of it: the first was for extirpating heathens, the second for converting them. He sent away the lewdest, this the soberest people the one was for present profit, the other for a reasonable expectation - the first set up a common stock, out of which the people should be provided, by proportions; the second left every one to provide for himself.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The History of North America, Vol. 18: The Development of the North Since the Civil War This industrial new-birth characterizes the development of the North during the period of which Mr. Rogers writes. So vast is the field of operations; so varied are the indus tries; so obscure and complicated are the economic and ethical problems involved, that no more than an outline of them is possible in the compass of a single volume. The industrialism of the last forty years exemplifies the entrance of the American people upon a new phase of their history. Never again can there exist the simplicity of life as it was before the War. Wisely or foolishly, people demand, if not more, at least other things than those which satisfied everyday people forty years ago. As Mr. Rogers narrates in one of his chapters, the now famed expositions which have been held in America since the. War have indi cated the nature of the continental, the world education which the American people were receiving. And yet none of these expositions could have been possible had not the American people themselves prepared the way.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from North America, Vol. 1 It has been the ambition of my literary life to write a book about the United States, and I had made up my mind to visit the country with this object before the intestine troubles of the United States government had commenced. I have not allowed the division among the States and the breaking out of civil war to interfere with my intention; but I should not purposely have chosen this period either for my book or for my visit. I say so much, in order that it may not be supposed that it is my special purpose to write an account of the struggle as far as it has yet been carried. My wish is to describe as well as I can the present social and political state of the country. This I should have attempted, with more personal satisfaction in the work, had there been no disruption between the North and South; but I have not allowed that disruption to deter me from an object which, if it were delayed, might probably never be carried out. I am therefore forced to take the subject in its present condition, and being so forced I must write of the war, of the causes which have led to it, and of its probable termination. But I wish it to be understood that it was not my selected task to do so, and is not now my primary object. Thirty years ago my mother wrote a book about the Americans, to which I believe I may allude as a well-known and successful work without being guilty of any undue family conceit. That was essentially a woman's book. She saw with a woman's keen eye, and described with a woman's light but graphic pen, the social defects and absurdities which our near relatives had adopted into their domestic life.
