Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from An American
Oppression of the weak and ignorant, by those who are wiser and stronger than they, has, always, aroused in us pronounced, and, often, openly ex pressed, indignation. More than once, have we, as a nation, arrayed ourselves upon the side of the down - trodden and pitiful, and, in every such in stance, we have greatly increased and enhanced the well-being of those whose cause we have espoused.
We have never gone out of our way to look for trouble, being more inclined to attend to our own affairs than to oversee those of our neighbors, and, yet, when, repeatedly, gross acts of injustice and cruelty have been forced under our observation, we have, at times, been aroused to a state of what we have honestly believed to be righteous indignation.
