State Rights: A Photograph From The Ruins Of Ancient Greece (1865)

By Tayler Lewis

Book Overview

State Rights: A Photograph From The Ruins Of Ancient Greece (1865) is a book written by Tayler Lewis, an American philosopher and classicist. The book is a collection of essays that explore the concept of state rights, particularly in the context of the American Civil War. Lewis draws upon his extensive knowledge of ancient Greek history and philosophy to argue that the idea of state sovereignty has deep roots in Western thought and that it is essential for the preservation of individual liberty and democratic government. The book is divided into three parts: the first examines the historical and philosophical foundations of state rights, the second considers the role of the federal government in protecting those rights, and the third analyzes the implications of the Civil War for the future of American democracy. Throughout the book, Lewis makes a passionate case for the importance of state sovereignty and the need to balance the power of the federal government with the rights of individual states. State Rights: A Photograph From The Ruins Of Ancient Greece is a thought-provoking and insightful work that sheds light on one of the most important debates in American political history.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
