Summary: "National Character: A Thanksgiving Discourse" by N. C. Burt is a religious discourse delivered in the mid-19th century, specifically in 1855. This publication serves as a reflection on the nature of nations, their moral character, and the relationship between divinity and governance, particularly in the context of America. The discourse emphasizes the intersection of faith and national identity, urging the audience to recognize their duties as citizens within a divine moral framework. In the discourse, Burt explores the characteristics that define a nation, discussing elements such as common ancestry, language, territory, and governance. He acknowledges that while these factors play a role in forming a nation, it is the idea of a sovereign state ordained by God that holds ultimate significance. He argues that a nation’s true blessing lies in its recognition of God as its Lord. Additionally, Burt addresses the moral responsibilities the government holds towards its citizens and emphasizes the need for religious principles to guide national conduct. He contends that as America strives to make God the foundation of its national identity, it will secure its destiny and prosperity, ultimately calling for a unification of spiritual and civic duties in service of their nation and God.
