Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is an exploration of the decline and fall of the American Republic, blamed by the author on the people's betrayal of their civic duty. The author argues this occurred through apathy, corruption, spoiled prosperity, and reckless partisanship, ultimately bringing about the nation's civil war. The author contrasts the era of revolution, with its statesmen and orators, with the time of their children and grandchildren, who grew comfortable and entitled within an expanding and prosperous nation. By tracing the country's history and founding ideals, the author places the blame for national failure squarely on the citizenry and demands personal sacrifice and civic virtue from readers. This book provides a historical and introspective analysis of a nation at war with itself, questioning whether power corrupts or if corruption attracts power. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
