Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Battle of Principles: A Study of the Heroism and Eloquence of the Anti-Slavery Conflict
The Western Continent is not large, but it holds more than half the farm land of the planet, and it is already evident that the United States and Canada, with their free in stitutions, will indirectly and directly control the thousand millions of people that will soon live between the Aleutian Islands of Alaska, and Cape Horn. The one question of the hour is how to make all the coming mil lions patriots towards their country, scholars towards the intellect, obedient citizens towards the laws of nature and God. Our national peril is Mammonism and the sordid pursuit of gold. Our fathers came hither in pursuit of God and liberty, - not gold and territory. Sixty of our present ninety millions of people have entered the earthly scene since the Civil War. Our young men and women, and the children of foreign born peoples need to open the pages of history, setting forth the great men and events of the anti-slavery epoch in this land.
