Reseñas

An important historical text told in story format for young people, covering the earlier time leading up to the great struggle between English subjects and the English Crown, for a brand new nation, the United States of America. A bloody, violent, and at times, graphic telling of history, particularly due to the conflicts between the English and French.

Sweet Land of Liberty, (AKA Old Times in the Colonies) was first published in 1880. Coffin wrote it for children to demonstrate that when justice and liberty stand up to tyranny, tyranny will always lose.

Quote from the final paragraph:

"Peace brings prosperity. Fifteen years pass, and the people of America, educated by influences and conditions all unknown on the other side of the Atlantic, announce to the world that all men are created free and equal, and endowed with inalienable rights. They give their honor, their fortunes, their lives in support of it. Victory crowns their efforts, and the colonies become a nation, independent, powerful, and teacher of all the nations, by the power of an illustrious example in defense of Justice, Liberty, and the Rights of Man."

Classic book giving a thorough account of the early settlers. Covers a lot of details! Coffin wrote several history books in the 1800's, all are well written and give a lot of details.
