Not illustrated. 1862 edition. Excerpt: ...indomitable Roman who said, Viam aut veniam aut faciam--" I will either find a way, or make a way." These will think that Elder Emmons ought to have found a Christian church or built up one; but they must not charge him too hastily with unfaithfulness. His fault seems to have been, chiefly, lack of energy--" the very head and front of his offending hath this extent, no more." That he has not denied the faith is clearly established by indubitable testimony. In a letter to J. M. Mathes, he himself says, "In uniting as I did with the First Baptist church in Boston, in 1843, J renounced no Reformation principle that I ever held." The pastor of that church, Dr. Neale, says of him: "His reception into my church was owing to my knowledge of his character as a Christian, and not to any sympathy with the peculiar speculative notions in which it was somewhat natural for him to indulge." "For these 'peculiar notions, ' and 'theological speculations' "--says Elder E. in his letter to Elder Mathes--" or for the faith and teaching contained in them, has my name been cast out as evil. I have been looked upon as a speckled bird, having had no call, and no pastoral charge in any Baptist church since 1830. So, for my Reformation principles--nicknamed 'Campbellism'--for their avowal and advocacy, I have been, still am, and expect to be a living martyr." He acknowledges no creed but the Bible; preaches no baptism but that "for the remission of sins;" employs his pen in support of no faith but that "once delivered to the saints;" and wherever in his travels he meets with a congregation of Disciples, with them he fraternizes, advocating their cause. He is still to be regarded, ...
A supplemental textbook for middle and high school students, Hoosiers and the American Story provides intimate views of individuals and places in Indiana set within themes from American history. During the frontier days when Americans battled with and exiled native peoples from the East, Indiana was on the leading edge of America’s westward expansion. As waves of immigrants swept across the Appalachians and eastern waterways, Indiana became established as both a crossroads and as a vital part of Middle America. Indiana’s stories illuminate the history of American agriculture, wars, industrialization, ethnic conflicts, technological improvements, political battles, transportation networks, economic shifts, social welfare initiatives, and more. In so doing, they elucidate large national issues so that students can relate personally to the ideas and events that comprise American history. At the same time, the stories shed light on what it means to be a Hoosier, today and in the past.
For the past three decades, many history professors have allowed their biases to distort the way America’s past is taught. These intellectuals have searched for instances of racism, sexism, and bigotry in our history while downplaying the greatness of America’s patriots and the achievements of “dead white men.” As a result, more emphasis is placed on Harriet Tubman than on George Washington; more about the internment of Japanese Americans during World War II than about D-Day or Iwo Jima; more on the dangers we faced from Joseph McCarthy than those we faced from Josef Stalin. A Patriot’s History of the United States corrects those doctrinaire biases. In this groundbreaking book, America’s discovery, founding, and development are reexamined with an appreciation for the elements of public virtue, personal liberty, and private property that make this nation uniquely successful. This book offers a long-overdue acknowledgment of America’s true and proud history.
