Overview

Excerpt from The Chronicles of America Series, Vol. 34 Effort, and expectation, and desire, And something evermore about to be. An Alexander Hamilton may urge with passion ate force the adoption of the Constitution, without any firm conviction as to its permanence. The most clear-sighted American of the Civil War peri od recognized this element of uncertainty in our American adventure when he declared: We are now testing whether this nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. More than fifty years have passed since that war reaffirmed the binding force of the Constitution and apparently sealed the perpetuity of the Union. Yet the gigantic economic and social changes now in progress are serving to show that the United States has its full share of the anxieties which beset all human institutions in this daily altering world.
