Excerpt from Our Nation: An Address Before the Archæan Union of Beloit College, Delivered February 28, 1862
A nation, then, is not the product of a whim or of a day; nor is it to be blotted out by a battle, or even by years of Oppression. This is true even of those comparatively minor nations, which differ from those about them, only as dialects of the same language differ. The Poles, the Magyars, the Irish, the Italians, hold their own national sympathies unconquerable, even in bondage.
But, if I mistake not, ours is a nation in a different sense from that in which the Poles or the French are nations. For all shall find these particular nationalities grouping in larger aggregates or systems of nations, like that Christendom which hurled itself upon the Mos lem in the Crusades. A true chart of the history of the world should present these grand national wholes. Certain bounds of national habitation have remained or reestablished themselves with wonderful persistence. No changes of dynasty, or even of faith, could efface them. The Tigris, the Hellespont, and the Adriatic, have formed dividing lines, beyond which it seemed that nations could not mingle.
