Excerpt from Life of Robert Morris, an Eminent Merchant of Philadelphia, a Signer of the Declaration of American Independence, and Superintendent of Finance for the United States, From 1781 to 1784It has sometimes been thought to have been the intention of providence in bestowing upon the citizens of the United States the civil privileges which we so highly prize, to give the world an example of the advantages of a just government, emanating from the people, and directed by their will. At least we have had an opportunity to do this, and if we fail the fault will be our own.For this purpose the people themselves were prepared, under the dominion of a foreign power, by suffering the evils which in all future time were to be avoided. When the people were prepared, the yoke of subjugation was to be broken, that they might take a rank among the nations of the earth.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
