Excerpt from Les États-Unis au Xxe Siècle
Ce qui constitue l'importance capitale de cet acte, ce qui en fait un des grands événements de l'histoire, c'est qu'il a débarrassé les États - Unis de tout souci de voisinage. C'est qu'il leur a évité, pour toujours, toutes les charges et toutes les inquiétu des que le contact de nations d'une force compa rable à la leur impose aux autres États Et nul ne niera que l'absence de ces charges et de ces inquié tudes, ait énormément contribué à l'attrait exercé par les états-unis sur les immigrants d'europe et à la rapidité de leur développement. Si la Loni siane était restée la possession d'une nation euro péenne, si elle avait passé, surtout comme on peu vait le craindre et comme Bonaparte a voulu l'eviter, des mains de la France en celles de l'an gleterre si l'union ne s'était pas étendue au delà du territoire compris entre le Mississipi et la mer, combien l'histoire de l'amérique et du monde n'au rait-elle pas changé!

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book, an insightful work on the United States in the early 20th century, provides a comprehensive analysis of the people inhabiting the country at that time and the land they occupied. It begins by describing the country's vast natural resources, a combination of fertile plains, mountains, and forests. This diverse geography gave rise to a wide range of climates, from tropical in the South to frigid in the North. The author then turns to the American people, discussing their origins and the tremendous impact of immigration on the nation's character. European immigration, which began in the 17th century, brought millions of people from various countries, with many arriving from Northern and Western Europe. These immigrants, largely compatible with the existing population, contributed to the development of American society and institutions. However, immigration also included significant numbers from Southern and Eastern Europe, who faced greater challenges in assimilation. The influx of these diverse populations resulted in a complex and ever-changing American identity. Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
