"The Most Bitter Foe of Nations, and the Way to Its Permanent Overthrow" by Andrew D. White is a speech from 1866 that explores how aristocracy, built on holding people back, stands in the way of freedom and togetherness in countries. The speech looks at how these systems have been a major problem for political rights and getting better as a society. White argues that an aristocracy is built on unfairness and hurts national togetherness and the ability to be free and suggests it is not only necessary to overcome such aristocracy but also necessary to give everybody the rights they deserve, using examples from Spain, Italy, Poland, and France.
