Book Description
Excerpt from Address of State Historian of Georgia, Hon. Lucian Lamar Knight, in the State Capitol November 25th, 1916 I see what equal suffrage has done for temperance, for child labor, for social betterment, and for Democratic Vic tory, I think I can see it coming, and coming fast. It is not the least of your services to us nor the smallest of our obligations to you that, while teaching us to rever ence the sacred symbolism of our country's ag, you have taught us first of all to venerate and to cherish, to safe guard and to preserve the history of our own state. The germ of patriotism is the love of home. I have no faith in the Americanism which detaches itself from locality - which professes to know no North, no South, no East, no West. I abhor a sectionalism which is sinister but I cherish a sec tionalism which is patriotic - which savors of the soil which enriches the Union with its local color, with its indi vidual avor of achievement - whose spirit is to the manner born. When the soldier of the legion lay dying in Algiers, it was not the country spread out upon the map to which his feverish fancy wandered, but the vine-clad hills of Big gen on the Rhine. Home is what Georgia spells to me. This is the picture which she holds before my eyes - this the perfume which she throws around my heart, sweeter than all the spices of Arabia. The man who does not love his state, is not the proper guardian of his country's honor; he is no friend to its flag; and, when danger threatens, he will never heed its bugle call to battle. Secession is dead. This nation has naught to fear' from local patriotism. Show me the man who loves Georgia, whose heart is anchored to these red old hills, and I will show you one to whom this republic can pin its faith, and in whose loyalty our ship of state will find an anchor in the storm.
