Two Poems Celebrating America's Independence Day (1876 and 1909)

 

Poem for Independence Day by Marcia Jane Eaton 1876

HOW shall we celebrate the day

To which our freedom owes its birth; 

When firm, yet seeking no display, 

The patriots stood in proud array,

Before the mighty ones of earth?

Trusting in God, they stood alone, 

With dauntless front and unquelled eye, 

No servile fear, no sorrowing moan, 

As thus they braved high England's throne, 

And Liberty or Death," their cry. 

Heaven smiled propitious on the hour,

And nerved with hope the little band

They bade farewell to beauty's bower, 

And armed with justice, clothed in power, 

Fought boldly for their native land.

They fought against the tyrant king, 

Led on by freedom's chosen son- 

With clash of arms the valleys ring, 

Till loud their triumph-song they sing, 

Of victory and Washington. 

Not all in vain their blood so free

Was spilled like rain-drops o'er the earth, 

But gathering in one mighty sea

Waters the tree of liberty,

Which in each freeman's heart finds birth.

How shall we celebrate the hour,

Which set our own loved country free? 

With joyous shout in peaceful bower, 

With cannon's roar, and music's power, 

We'll hail the Nation's jubilee. 

Our banner, with its stripe and star, 

We'll keep unstained from sire to son- 

Each breeze shall waft its folds afar, 

Unsullied, as when first in war 

It waved o'er fields of vict'ry won.

We'll teach our children freedom's song, 

To lisp in artless joyous glee, 

And ever, as the strains prolong,

We'll shout the echo loud and long,

Our own America is free!

********************

INDEPENDENCE DAY

WE celebrate "a day of days,"

Which saw a nation rise

Through din of battle, clash of arms,

And severed kindred ties.

This day we draw aside the veil,

And backward take a look

On stirring scenes, brought to our view, 

 As in an open book. 

We see the lights in "old North Church" 

Those beacons burning bright 

And gallop on with Paul Revere, 

Throughout that fateful night. 

We fight with men at Bunker Hill, 

Whose aim was good and true 

Nerved to the task by loyal hearts, 

'Neath coats of buff and blue. 

With praying Washington we wait 

At Valley Forge, in snow and sleet, 

And see the blood-prints on the ground 

From shoeless soldiers' feet. 

With thin-clad, shiv'ring, dauntless men 

We cross the Delaware 

To meet the foe and capture them, 

And untold perils dare. 

We rise with those patriots brave, 

When they their names affix 

To the "Declaration" broad and grand, 

Of Seventeen Seventy-six. 

As liberty loud it proclaims,

We hear the tones of the bell, 

While echoing valley, hill and glen 

The message to nations tell.

And so each year we celebrate

This day, so dear to all,

When a Nation to new life awoke,

At Freedom's earnest call.

-Mary M. North. 1909

The Greatness of the American Republic by Archbishop Ireland 1897

What is a main and most important difference between a Republic and a Democracy?

In a republic, a constitution or charter of rights protects certain inalienable rights that cannot be taken away by the government, even if it has been elected by a majority of voters. In a "pure democracy," the majority is not restrained in this way and can impose its will on the minority.

Revolutionary Hero Nathan Hale on This Day in History

 

This Day in History: American Patriot, soldier and spy for the Continental Army during the American Revolutionary War, Nathan Hale, was executed on this day in 1776. He was only 21 years old.

Martin Van Buren on This Day in History

This day in history: President Martin Van Buren died on this day in 1862. According to the book "Recarving Rushmore: Ranking the Presidents on Peace, Prosperity and Liberty" Martin Van Buren ranks as the third best president (the top 5 presidents according to this book are John Tyler, Grover Cleveland, Martin Van Buren, Rutherford B. Hayes and Chester A. Arthur). The reason these presidents you never heard of were better is that they mainly left people alone. 

"Martin Van Buren was the least bad president in American history. Although other chief executives had some libertarian accomplishments, he was by far the most consistent. Domestically, Van Buren kept government spending and taxes low, and also brought to culmination the Jacksonian program for the 'divorce of bank and state,' despite the country being engulfed in a severe depression. But Van Buren’s most stunning achievements were in foreign policy. Mainstream historians usually rate presidents according to their forceful leadership, which biases them toward presidents who drag the country into wars, permitting displays of decisiveness and energy. But if we instead applaud maintaining peace, Van Buren has the unique distinction of keeping the country out of two possible wars. By blocking annexation of Texas, he forestalled a war with Mexico that unfortunately came about a decade later. He also calmed two major disputes with Canada, either of which could have instigated full-fledged conflict with Britain. One involved border incidents resulting from a revolt in Canada, and the other a clash over the Maine boundary. The unpopularity of these libertarian and diplomatic measures, even within Van Buren’s own party, contributed to his failure to win reelection in 1840 and renomination in 1844." ~Jeffrey Rogers Hummel

Van Buren became the first President who was born after the American Revolution, making him, in a newer sense, the first "American" born president.

The Gauvin-Olson debates on God and the Bible By Marshall Jerome Gauvin, David Eugene Olson
(Sunday afternoon, just last Sunday, my honorable opponent stood upon this platform and made the audacious statement that Washington's Bible had no marks in it, not even thumbmarks, had no signs whatsoever that it had ever been read and used; when the facts are that just one year ago last February, I myself, whilst in old Mt. Vernon, spent several hours around the old home of George Washington. I was in that house; handled that Bible with my own hands; saw it; read it; and I am here to tell you as an eye witness, that my honorable opponent told an absolute falsehood about that book. That book is full of marks. It is full of finger marks and thumb marks and pencil marks and all kinds of markings, to show that it has been read carefully by George Washington. Mr. Gauvin owes an apology for telling falsehoods about the father of our country.)
