Excerpt from An Oration Delivered by Request Before the Whigs of Philadelphia, on the Fourth of July, 1834 Assembled to commemorate the triumphs of our ancestors, let us rejoice that we are still worthy to honour them. Though we have distress around us, and before us a struggle of which the result is in the hands of Providence, yet we keep this festival with the cheerful hearts of freemen. Determined in any event, not to disgrace our fathers, we can speak of their deeds without the blush of shame, or the downcast eye of conscious degeneracy. We look back to them, not as slaves look to the memory of kind protectors or generous avengers, - but as freemen turn with honest pride to their predecessors. When we shall cease to revere them, we shall have been rendered incapable of the admiration of heroic actions: - when we shall despair of imitating them, we shall have lost our distinguishing characteristic as a people, and become a reproach to our common country. In Washington, and the men of 1776, was embodied the spirit of our race, the spirit of liberty. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

'...from time to time a study comes along that truly can be called ‘path breaking,’ ‘seminal,’ ‘essential,’ a ‘must read.’ How the Irish Became White is such a study.' John Bracey, W.E.B. Du Bois Department of Afro-American Studies, University of Massachussetts, Amherst The Irish came to America in the eighteenth century, fleeing a homeland under foreign occupation and a caste system that regarded them as the lowest form of humanity. In the new country – a land of opportunity – they found a very different form of social hierarchy, one that was based on the color of a person’s skin. Noel Ignatiev’s 1995 book – the first published work of one of America’s leading and most controversial historians – tells the story of how the oppressed became the oppressors; how the new Irish immigrants achieved acceptance among an initially hostile population only by proving that they could be more brutal in their oppression of African Americans than the nativists. This is the story of How the Irish Became White.
