Not illustrated. 1899 edition. Excerpt: ... CHAPTER XVII. SLAVERY. The commercial greed of England anchored the negro race upon America against the earnest protests of the colonists. In 1620, when a Dutch vessel landed twenty slaves at Jamestown, the enlightened sense of Virginia quickly took alarm, and laws against the wicked traffic were promptly passed. For more than a century Virginia fought most valiantly against the wrong which she foresaw would work irreparable injury, not only to the South, but to the whole country. In 1770 the King commanded the Governor "under pain of highest displeasure to assent to no law by which the importation of slaves should be in any respect prohibited or obstructed." Two years later, after a prolonged and earnest debate, the Assembly of Virginia submitted to the King a memorial setting forth the inhumanity of the trade, and its exceeding great danger to the existence of his American dominions, and praying that the interests of the British dealers who would be financially benefited by the criminal traffic might not be permitted to take precedence of the welfare of the entire colonies.

Excerpt from Pickett and His Men That dream nation did not crumble into ruins and fade away into naught. The setting sun reflected from its gleaming minarets makes more radiant the light by which our united country marches on its way to national glory The bells in its towers ring out a pan to swell the grand symphony which circles the world. The gallant sons of heroic fathers who fell on battle fields of North and South now stand together to defend our common country. Side by side North and South are marching against the foe; step by step they keep time to the mingled notes of The star-spangled Banner and Dixie, blending into the noblest battle-hymn that ever thrilled the heart of soldier to deeds immortal.
