NATIONALISM

Nationalism was the most successful political force of the 19th century. It emerged from two main sources: the Romantic exaltation of "feeling" and "identity" and the Liberal requirement that a legitimate state be based on a "people" rather than, for example, a dynasty, God, or imperial domination. Both Romantic "identity nationalism" and Liberal "civic nationalism" were essentially middle class movements. - Modern History Sourcebook

was america ever a white nation?

I hope this will help people understand that this multicultural/multiracial nation we have today, was not what our founding fathers had in mind.

Abraham Lincoln stated "blacks are a troublesome presence" during the Lincoln-Douglas debates he said: "
I am not now or ever will be in favor of making voters or jurors of negros, nor qualifying them to hold office nor to intermarry with white people; and i will say in addition to this there is a physical difference between the white and black race which i believe will for ever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And as much as they can not so live, while they do remain together there must be a position of superior and inferior, and i as much as any other man am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."


Andrew Johnson: " This is a country for white men, and by God, as long as i am president, it shall be a government for white men!"


Woodrow Wilson a confirmed segragationalist and president of Princeton: "I stand for the national policy of exclusion... we can not make a homogeneous population of a people who do not blend with the caucasian race...."


Calvin Coolidge, as Vice president-elect in 1921 wrote in Good housekeeping about the basis for sound immigration policy "There are racial considerations to grave to be brushed aside for any sentimental reasons. Biological law tells us that certain divergent people will not mix or blend. Quality of mind and body suggests that the observance of ethnic law is as great a necessity to a nation as immigration law."


Henry Cabot Lodge took the view that " There is a limit to the capacity of any race for assimilating and elevating an inferior race, and when you begin to pour in unlimited numbers of people of alien or lower races of less social efficiency and less moral force, you are running the most frightful risk any people can run."


Congressman William N. Vaile of Colorado was a prominent supporter of the 1924 immigration legislation that set policy untill the revolution of the 1960s . He explains his opposition to non-white immigration this way: " Nordics need not be vain about their own qualifications. It will behooves them to be humble. What we do claim is that the northern European, and particularly Anglo Saxons made this country. Oh yes the others helped. But that is the full statement of the case. They came to this country because it was already made as an Anglo-Saxon commonwealth. They added to it, they often enriched it, but they did not make it and they have not yet greatly changed it. We are determined that they shall not. It is a good country. It suits us. And we are not going to surrender it to somebody else or allow other people, no matter what their merits, to make it something different. If there is any changing to be done we will do it ourselves"


this is taken from an essay written by Jared Taylor, published in a book called " A Race Against Time, Racial Heresies for the 21st Century"
