“The origin of the political relations between the United States and France is coeval with the first years of our independence. The memory of it is interwoven with that of our arduous struggle for national existence. Weakened as it has occasionally been since that time, it can by us never be forgotten, and we should hail with exultation the moment which should indicate a recollection equally friendly in spirit on the part of France.” ShouldYearsFirstsStatesMomentsPoliticalSpiritMemoriesUnitedExistenceUnited StatesStruggleRelationIndependenceForgottenFranceFriendlyRecollectionHail Book:John Quincy Adams, 1767-1848; chronology, documents, bibliographical aids Source: John Quincy Adams, 1767-1848; chronology, documents, bibliographical aids

“The presence of the blacks is the greatest evil that threatens the United States. They increase, in the Gulf States, faster than do the whites. They cannot be kept for ever in slavery, since the tendencies of the modern world run strongly the other way. They cannot be absorbed into the white population, for the whites will not intermarry with them, not even in the North where they have been free for two generations. Once freed, they would be more dangerous than now, because they would not long submit to be debarred from political rights. A terrible struggle would ensue.” WorldWayLongHas BeensTwoStatesWould BeRunningPoliticalEvilWhiteUnitedUnited StatesStruggleRightsGenerationsModernDangerousTerribleIncreaseSlaveryPopulationTendenciesFasterSubmitModern WorldPolitical Rights Author:James Bryce

“It [the Civil War] was a heroic struggle; and, as is inevitable with all such struggles, it had also a dark and terrible side. Very much was done of good, and much also of evil; and, as was inevitable in such a period of revolution, often the same man did both good and evil. For our great good fortune as a nation, we, the people of the United States as a whole, can now afford to forget the evil, or, at least, to remember it without bitterness, and to fix our eyes with pride only on the good that was accomplished.” PeopleMenWarStatesDoneWholeEyeRememberEvilNationsSidesDarkForgetUnitedUnited StatesStruggleRevolutionPridePeriodsTerribleFortuneInevitableCivil WarAccomplishedGood And EvilBitternessHeroicGood Fortune Author:Theodore Roosevelt
