You are assembled at a period of profound interest to the American patriot. The unexampled growth and prosperity of our country having given us a rank in the scale of nations which removes all apprehension of danger to our integrity and independence from external foes, the career of freedom is before us, with an earnest from the past that if true to ourselves there can be no formidable obstacle in the future to its peaceful and uninterrupted pursuit. Yet, in proportion to the disappearance of those apprehensions which attended our weakness, as once contrasted with the power of some of the States of the Old World, should we now be solicitous as to those which belong to the conviction that it is to our own conduct we must look for the preservation of those causes on which depend the excellence and the duration of our happy system of government.
Autorenporträt
Andrew Jackson was born in 1946 in Blackpool and grew up near Tamworth, Staffordshire. He had the most wonderful childhood; a Tom Sawyer/Huckleberry Finn existence. He had total freedom to play and grow in the countryside and, when not playing in the countryside, he read books. Stories such as Children of the New Forest and Three Musketeers captivated him as a child. Throughout his working life he had a variety of jobs, mainly in stage work, and, for a time, owned an art gallery. Throughout his life, poetry was ever present and in recent years, it has played an increasingly important part of his life, as he attended poetry meetings and read his work at clubs and other venues.
