Book excerpt: AUTHOR'S NOTE TO THE FOURTHEDITIONIn the reprintings of a book of this character it would be possible to revise and rewrite in such manner as to conceal the errors or misjudgments of the author. It seems, however, more honest to permit these impressions to stand practically as they were written, with only a few minor corrections. It was my aim to make note of conditions, tendencies, and needs in the Valley of Democracy, and the conclusion of the war has affected my point of view with reference to these matters very little.The first months of the present year have been so crowded with incidents affecting the whole world that we recall with difficulty the events of only a few years ago. We have met repeated crises with an inspiring exhibition of unity and courage that should hearten us for the new tasks of readjustment that press for attention, and for the problems of self-government that are without end. I shall feel that these pages possess some degree of vitality if they quicken in the[x] mind and heart of the reader a hope and confidence that we of America do not walk blindly, but follow a star that sheds upon us a perpetual light.France evoked from the unknown the valley that may, in more than one sense, be called the heart of America.... The chief significance and import of the addition of this valley to the maps of the world, all indeed that makes it significant, is that here was given (though not of deliberate intent) a rich, wide, untouched field, distant, accessible only to the hardiest, without a shadowing tradition or a restraining fence, in which men of all races were to make attempt to live together under rules of their own devising and enforcing. And as here the government of the people by the people was to have even more literal interpretation than in that Atlantic strip which had traditions of property suffrage and church privilege and class distinctions, I have called it the "Valley of the New Democracy."-John H. Finley: "The French in the Heart of America."

Excerpt: ...while a million more, in the back districts of the older States, really belonged to this Western movement. Since 1800, the West had grown from a tenth to a third of the nation. New England's total population was only two million, and she had RAPIDITY OF GROWTH, 1815-1830 403 gained only half a million in the last decade (even including the growing "frontier" State of Maine), while the Mississippi valley States had gained a million and a half. Indiana in the decade from 1810 to 1820 grew from 24,000 to 147,000! Throughout the period, Virginia held first place as mother State for the new commonwealths both north and Virginia still south of the Ohio. Dr. Turner, whose New West the mother is so often quoted in this chapter, has some inter-State esting figures to show the preponderance of Southern immigration. Of the Illinois legislature in 1833, he tells us, 58 members were from the South, 19 from the Middle States, and only 4 from New England. As late as 1850, two thirds the population of Indiana was Southern in origin. Indeed, the "Hoosier" element was, originally, wholly from North Carolina. New England was populating her own frontier counties in Maine, and also, in good measure, the western districts of Rew New York and the Lake region of Ohio. Her England sons did not begin to come in large numbers into iatgrati0n e 8reat centr J valley until the close of this period. So far as they did come, they were from her western democratic farming communities. They kept much of the old Puritan seriousness and moral earnestness, mingled with a radicalism like that of original Puritans of the Roger Williams type. They were reformers and "come-outers" in religion and politics and society. Temperance movements, ...

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Democracy Today: An American Interpretation The addresses which have been brought together in this little volume were carried across the Atlantic, since there was not time in which to write the promised introductory word before the journey was begun. I made notes along the way but it was not till I was delayed for many hours not far from the Western Front, where I could see the constant flashing in the sky above the place of the supreme struggle, that I could make a beginning of writing anything in preface to these august utterances which cry across our whole national history and especially out of its most critical hours and darkest nights. It was there that the very principles for whose maintenance Washington, Webster, Lincoln, Roosevelt and Wilson spoke, were being fought for in the most important and critical conflict in the world's history. The flashes in the sky seemed at first but "heat lightning" such as I had seen hundreds of times in the prairie skies of the Mississippi Valley, and as the train waited silently in the midst of the fields a nightingale began to sing whose voice was heard "in ancient days by Emperor and clown" and still sings on "the selfsame song that found a path through the heart of Ruth." But no pacifistic interpretation of the light in the skies should deceive our children and youth; and no singing in groves of literature cause to "fade, far away" the land "where but to think is to be full of sorrow."

Download or read book Democracy Gone written by Robert P. Abele and published by Hamilton Books. This book was released on 2009-08-16 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Democracy Gone, Abele argues that the last eight years in particular have shown us that our democracy has largely disintegrated, leaving behind only an exoskeleton that was once its original vertebrae of ends and principles. This book questions whether or not the American democratic experiment has run out of steam and if, through our inattention, we have replaced our democracy with politicians lustful for power and central authority that is out of touch with the needs of common people. The essays included in Democracy Gone focus specifically on two questions. First, how true are we staying to our founding values in our national actions and dialogues? Second, how consistent and universal is our application of the principles and standards we claim to hold dear? The underlying call is that it is critical to our form of democracy in the United States that citizens once again become active participants in the issues of the day: nothing less than the reclamation of our democracy is at stake.
