Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the relationship between national character, morality, and how it affects a societyâs standing among its peers and before God. The author, a minister who delivered this address on Thanksgiving Day in 1856, exhorts Americans to examine their own national character and its trajectory. He argues that the pursuit of righteousness exalts a nation, while national sins bring reproach. He indicts the increasing materialism, prodigality, and corruption of his day, viewing them as symptoms of a nation forsaking its founding ideals. He argues against territorial expansionism and slavery, which has been introduced into new territories through political maneuvering. He ends with a call for genuine patriotism, abolitionism, and a return to the principles of the nation's founding. This book is a powerful indictment of national sins and an urgent call for repentance and reform.
