Publisher's Synopsis
Pestilential Foreign Invasion, As A Question Of States������� Rights And The Constitution: The Failure Of The Maritime States Demands A Common Defense is a book written by Joseph Holt and originally published in 1892. The book is a political treatise that explores the issue of states' rights and the role of the federal government in defending the nation against foreign invasion. Holt argues that the failure of the maritime states to adequately defend themselves against potential foreign threats is a result of their emphasis on states' rights over the needs of the nation as a whole. He contends that the Constitution grants the federal government the power and responsibility to protect the nation from external threats, and that this power should be exercised in a way that ensures the safety and security of all Americans. The book is divided into several chapters that explore different aspects of the issue, including the historical context of states' rights, the role of the federal government in national defense, and the potential consequences of failing to address the issue. Holt draws on examples from American history to illustrate his points, including the War of 1812 and the Civil War. Overall, Pestilential Foreign Invasion, As A Question Of States������� Rights And The Constitution is a thought-provoking examination of a complex political issue. It is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of American politics, the role of the federal government in national defense, and the ongoing debate over states' rights.An Address Delivered Before The Tri-State Medical Society Of Georgia, Alabama, And Tennessee, At Chattanooga, October 26, 1892.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
