Book Description
Excerpt from Oration, Delivered July 4th, 1836, Before the Social Union Society of Amherst College We are no longer bound to pay undivided praise to little old Attica. Though we acknowledge her Athena, and promise always to call her Queen in letters and the arts; yet the world looks to us for models m erecting the temples of liberty. A modern Greece has sprung from the wilds of America, not without her heroic exploits, not without her scenes of Epic. Grandeur, not without her adornments of civilization. While therefore we ring our changes on Marathon and Thermopyle. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Book Description
Excerpt from An Oration, Delivered at Huntington, New-York: Friday, July 4th, 1862 We are to-day actors in the grandest, drama of real life; we stand upon the threshold of momentous events, and touch the garment of occurrences which are to shape the future condition of a Continent. Republican Institutions, and their chief feature, the capacity of man for self-government, are upon trial before the assembled world. To this strange political and social entanglement the American people sustain the relation of both the contending parties. A large minority on the one side have inaugurated, and are carrying on, a war against the Constitution and the Federal Union, and attempt to cover their conduct beneath the shield of a justifiable revolution; for this purpose, and with a view to disrupt the old government, they have organized rebellion into an appearance of sovereignty, and have sent forth to the world an appeal to "the last argument of kings," and a declaration of hatred for, and independence of, the institutions of the United States of America.

Book Description
'...from time to time a study comes along that truly can be called ‘path breaking,’ ‘seminal,’ ‘essential,’ a ‘must read.’ How the Irish Became White is such a study.' John Bracey, W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies, University of Massachussetts, Amherst The Irish came to America in the eighteenth century, fleeing a homeland under foreign occupation and a caste system that regarded them as the lowest form of humanity. In the new country – a land of opportunity – they found a very different form of social hierarchy, one that was based on the color of a person’s skin. Noel Ignatiev’s 1995 book – the first published work of one of America’s leading and most controversial historians – tells the story of how the oppressed became the oppressors; how the new Irish immigrants achieved acceptance among an initially hostile population only by proving that they could be more brutal in their oppression of African Americans than the nativists. This is the story of How the Irish Became White.
