God in American History An Address for Memorial Day
Sumner T Martin preaches at Newton Iowa on Memorial Day 1896. He frames American liberty as a providential vine planted by God, praising Civil War heroes, urging gratitude, and arguing America’s destiny to spread liberty and Christianity through a yet-to-be-conquered future, with references to Columbus Mayflower and Webster.
