Produced by Afra Ullah, Sjaani and PG Distributed Proofreaders "'Tis Sixty Years Since" by Charles Francis Adams is a historical address delivered in the early 20th century, specifically in 1913, on the occasion of Founders' Day at the University of South Carolina. This book is a reflective discourse that examines societal, political, and educational changes over the past sixty years from the author's perspective. The primary topic of this address revolves around the evolution of American society, its ideals, and the unexpected ways in which historical events, such as the Civil War and the abolition of slavery, have shaped modern American character and thought. In this address, Adams shares his experiences and observations as he contrasts the ideals and aspirations of his youth—specifically when he entered Harvard in 1853—with the realities of his time. He discusses various pivotal issues such as slavery, state sovereignty, and the rise of industrialization, highlighting how these have led to significant social and political transformations. Throughout the address, he reflects on the consequences of his generation's choices and the unexpected evolution of race relations and political ideals in the United States. Adams emphasizes the importance of education and thoughtful governance, arguing for a reevaluation of political processes to better adapt to contemporary challenges, thereby stressing the role of universities in shaping an informed citizenry.
