| Summary | "Our Union and Its Defenders" by J. Howard Pugh is an oration delivered on July 4th, 1862, during the celebration of Independence Day in Burlington, New Jersey. This historical account reflects the sentiments of a nation grappling with the Civil War, and it serves as a call to patriotism and unity amid strife. Written in the early 1860s, the book likely expresses themes regarding the importance of preserving the Union and the values for which the American Revolution was fought. In this powerful speech, Pugh reflects on the significance of Independence Day while acknowledging the turmoil of the ongoing Civil War. He draws parallels between the sacrifices made during the Revolution and those being made by soldiers in the present conflict, advocating for recognition of their bravery and commitment to the nation. He emphasizes the notion of patriotism as the primary motivation for the war, arguing against division and highlighting the necessity of preserving a singular American identity. Pugh implores listeners to remember the sacrifices of their forefathers and to unite for the preservation of the Union, framing the struggle as a test of character and commitment to the principles of democracy and freedom.
