Book Description
Excerpt from The Columbian Oration: Delivered at the Dedication Ceremonies of the World's Fair at Chicago, October 21, 1892 The anarchy and chaos which followed the breaking up of the Roman Empire, necessarily produced the feudal system. The people, pre ferring slavery to annihilation by robber chiefs, became the vassals of territorial lords. The, reign of physical force is one of perpetual struggle for the mastery. Power which rests upon the sword neither shares nor limits its authority. The king destroyed the lords, and the monarchy succeeded feudalism. Neither of these institutions considered or consulted the people They had no part, but to suffer or die in this mighty strife of masters for the mastery. But the throne, by its broader view and greater resources, made possible the construction of the highways of freedom Under its banner races could unite, and petty principalities' be merged, law substituted for brute force, and right for might. It founded and endowed universities, and encouraged commerce. It conceded no political privileges, but unconsciously prepared its subjects to demand them.
