Summary: "The American Revolution and the Boer War, An Open Letter to Mr. Charles Francis Adams" by Sydney G. Fisher is a historical treatise written in the early 20th century. This book explores the philosophical and moral underpinnings of struggles for independence, comparing the American Revolution with the Boer War. Through a detailed analysis, Fisher argues against Charles Francis Adams's view that the Boers should surrender and highlights the significance of fighting for one's political integrity and independence, regardless of overwhelming odds. In this open letter, Fisher critiques Adams's assertion that the Boers ought to abandon their guerilla tactics after suffering military defeats. Using historical parallels, particularly referencing the American colonists' fight against British rule, Fisher articulates the importance of continuing the struggle for self-determination. He highlights the ethical responsibility of oppressed peoples to resist and draw comparisons between the conduct of the Boers and the American Rebels, ultimately asserting that the fight for independence is a noble endeavor, one that transcends pragmatic concerns about resources and exhaustion. Fisher's argument is rooted in a deep historical context, emphasizing the rights of peoples to self-govern and the patterns of resistance against oppressive forces.
