Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book presents the full text of Edmund Burke's renowned Speech on Conciliation with America, delivered in the House of Commons in 1775. The speech is a powerful argument against the British government's attempts to impose taxes on the American colonies, and it is considered one of the greatest works of political oratory in the English language. In his speech, Burke argues that the American colonies are entitled to the same rights and privileges as British citizens, and that attempts to tax them without their consent are a violation of those rights. He also warns that the use of force to suppress the American rebellion will only lead to further bloodshed and division. Burke's speech was a brilliant analysis of the American Revolution, and it remains a valuable resource for understanding the causes and consequences of that conflict. It is a must-read for anyone interested in American history, political philosophy, or the art of public speaking.
