“There is no reason for Americans to lack confidence in themselves or
their institutions. Let him who doubts them look about him. Let him
consider the power of his country, its agriculture, its industry, its
commerce, its development of the arts and sciences, its great cities,
its enormous wealth, its organized society, and let him remember that
all this is the accomplishment of but three centuries. Surely we must
conclude that here is a people with a character which is not to be
shaken.”
