Excerpt from Address Before the Phi Beta Kappa at Yale College, July 26, 1854
The course of the European war showed that Spain was exhausted. Nearly all her American Colonies, inspired by the example of the United States, and sustained by their sympathy, struck for independence, established Republican systems, and entered into treaties of amity and commerce with the Republic of the North.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the unprecedented physical, intellectual, and moral progress of the United States from the time of its inception to the mid-nineteenth century. Departing from traditional views of societal decline, the author argues that the nation has exhibited remarkable growth, fueled by two great ideas: the equality of individuals within a state and the equality of states within a nation. These ideas have enabled the United States to expand and aggregate both territory and power through means of attraction, not conquest. The book delves into the political systems, laws, and practices that have facilitated this expansion, highlighting the nation's advancement in science, technology, and literature. The author contends that the United States' embrace of universal emulation has been a key factor in its intellectual development. Moreover, the book challenges the notion that morality declines as nations progress, arguing instead that the United States' republican system has fostered a virtuous society. Ultimately, this book provides a nuanced and optimistic perspective on the nation's progress, showcasing the enduring power of its founding principles and ideas.
