Excerpt from The American Monitor, 1824, Vol. 1: A Monthly Political, Historical, and Commercial Magazine To bring this first question under its real na ture, it is not necessary to examine it in its full ex tent; it suffices to refer to the commencement of the present century, ih order to be convinced that al though a number of secondary causes may, for a long time previous, have contributed to rouse the Ameri can population, yet the most active agent that goaded them on to the point which they have now gained, is incontestably the senseless tyranny with which the Spanish government made them feel the weight of its power and pride and not any influential causes from abstract theories, which, for the last half century, have so constantly agitated the Old and a part of the.
