A History of the United States, Jesse Olney, 1839

Preface (Jesse Olney)

Allows the numerous branches taught in our schools, history justly claims a high rank. It is now considered a necessary part of a good education. The man of business in common life, as well as the professional man, finds frequent occasion to refer to past events. Not only the lawyer and the statesman, but every freeman who gives in his vote to influence the great political interests of the nation, ought to be familiar with the more prominent events of his country’s history.

The history of the United States is replete with interest and instruction. The mind is first fixed upon a vast, unexplored wilderness, inhabited only by wild beasts and wandering savages. After many years of toil and danger, our noble ancestors are seen laying the foundations of a mighty nation, and establishing those institutions which are at once the pride and the glory of posterity. Their struggles in war against the Indians, and their steady resistance of the selfish policy of the mother country, afford numerous and striking examples of virtue and patriotism. The establishment of a national government, with its constitution and laws, displays the wisdom and integrity of a body of men, whose example is worthy of universal imitation. The rapid progress of the country from a state of poverty and wretchedness to circumstances of affluence and power, develops all the energies of human nature, and affords many valuable lessons to the youthful mind.

A conviction that a history of our own country, well adapted to the use of common schools, where the great mass of our population begin to complete their education, would be highly conducive to the best interests of the nation; and that every successful attempt at improvement would meet with corresponding encouragement from my fellow-citizens, has induced me to undertake the following work.

I have endeavored to relate the most important events, in the order of time in which they occurred, so as to present unbroken that series of causes and effects, which should be strictly preserved in every work of this kind. I have added a great amount of matter in the form of notes, consisting of biographical sketches of eminent men, anecdotes, &c., illustrating the text, and at the same time calculated to please and instruct. These, without interrupting the regular narrative, are inserted for the benefit of those who have not access to biographical works, enabling them to form some estimate of the principal characters connected with our history.

The plan of the work the author has had in mind for several years; and, after long experience in the instruction of youth, feels persuaded that it is well calculated to secure the attention of the scholar, and impart a better knowledge of our history, than any other work of its size.

I have divided the history into four periods ; the first, extending from the discovery to the first settlement; the second, from the settlement of Jamestown to the Declaration of Independence; the third, extending from this period to the adoption of the Federal constitution; and the fourth, comprising the events from that time to the present. This division appears the most natural and most easily remembered. Too many divisions only perplex the mind; it being as difficult to remember the dates of a great many periods, and connect them with the events included, as to remember the dates of the important events themselves. The questions are printed on the same page with the text, which every one, by a little experience, will find to be of great advantage. In preparing the work, the most approved authorities have been consulted, and special pains taken to render it correct in every important particular. To a generous and discriminating public, it is now respectfully submitted by the author.

New Views of the Constitution, 1823

New Views of the Constitution, 1823

Preface

THAT many eminent and respectable men have ever preferred, and ever will prefer, a consolidated national government to our federal system; that the constitution, under the influence of this. predilection, has been erroneously construed ; that these constructions are rapidly advancing towards their end, whether it shall be consolidation or disunion ; that they will become a source of excessive geographical discord; and that the happiness and prosperity of the United States will be greater under a federal than under a national government, in any form, are the opinions which have suggested the following treatise. If the survey taken of these subjects is not proportioned to their importance, it yet may not be devoid of novelty, nor wholly ineffectual towards attracting more publick attention towards a question involving a mass of consequences either very good or very bad.

Speech of Mr. Payne, of Alabama on The Proposition To Refund The Fine To General Jackson. Delivered in the House of Representatives, January 28, 184 

This is a fascinating speech filled with early American History centered on the life of then, General Jackson, our 7th President of the United States of America. The following quote was used on our October 22nd broadcast of Republic News Radio 101

How could the city have been saved? How could the spies and traitors have been prevented from conveying to the enemy daily information of the strength, condition, and operations of the American army? Sir, in but one way. It could only be done by proclaiming martial law. General Jackson saw and knew this. He felt the responsibility resting upon him, and adopted the only possible means by which the city could be saved. He proclaimed martial law, and subjected the city of New Orleans to military government.
