Publisher's Synopsis
""The True Grandeur of Nations: An Oration"" is a speech delivered by Charles Sumner in 1870. In this speech, Sumner argues that true greatness of a nation is not measured by its military power or territorial expansion, but by its commitment to justice, freedom, and human rights. He emphasizes the importance of peaceful resolution of conflicts and cooperation among nations. Sumner also criticizes the idea of imperialism and colonialism, which he believes are based on the exploitation of weaker nations. This book is a powerful call for a more ethical and humanitarian approach to international relations, and it remains relevant today as we continue to grapple with issues of war, peace, and global justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
