The Acquisition of Political Social and Industrial Rights of Man in America John Bach McMaster CLEVELAND PRINTED AT THE IMPERIAL PRESS 1903 HNG4 726 Lectures delivered at Western Reserve University UNIV. OF CALIFORNIA The Acquisition of the Political The subject that I am to have the pleasure of presenting is "The Acquisition of the Political, Social, and Industrial Rights of Man." It would seem to fall naturally into the three divisions mentioned, but in covering the period from the opening of the Revolution down to the middle of the nineteenth century neither one of these great struggles has been continuous. There have been periods of great activity, followed by periods of apparent indifference. I have thought it best, therefore, to present all three in the order in which they happen to fall chronologically. You will recall that when the quarrel between the mother country and her rebellious colonies in America was brought to a crisis by the passage of the four intolerable acts, a congress of delegates gathered at Philadelphia to remonstrate against these acts of tyranny. You will recall that when these patriots had drawn up: An address to the people of the colonies, An address to the Carolinians, An address to the people of Great Britain, M253591 |
