Excerpt from Republican Superstitions as Illustrated in the Political History of AmericaHow were these States formed? Why was New York large and Rhode Island small Why should not the American people have partitioned out their territory into a convenient number of districts The States had been developed from various historic centres, and although their interests were, certainly at that time, identical, and their boundaries scarcely defined, the local sentiment was as yet quite too strong for the formation of a large and earnest nationality. The union they did frame was not one Of sympathy, but one formed under the sense of separate weakness in presence of a foreign enemy. Its brief duration showed that the State was everything, the solidarity Of the people nothing, and after a life enfeebled by inter-state jealousies, its inharmonious existence terminated.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
