In "National Sins To Be Deplored By The Innocent As Well As By The Guilty," Samuel Johnson delivers a powerful sermon addressing collective responsibility and moral failings within a nation. Published in response to a pamphlet titled "The Presbyterians Not Chargeable With King Charles's Death," this discourse delves into the complexities of guilt, innocence, and the broader implications of national actions.
Johnson's sermon is not merely a rebuttal but a profound exploration of the intertwined destinies of a people, urging reflection and repentance. It explores themes of justice, accountability, and the enduring consequences of historical events, offering insights into the moral fabric of society and the burdens of history.
