The peaceful path worked for exactly fourteen years. At Turčiansky Svätý Martin on 6–7 June 1861 a national assembly adopted the Memorandum of the Slovak Nation, asking that Slovaks be recognised as a nation with their own territory, schools and administration. Three Slovak grammar schools opened — at Revúca, Martin and Kláštor pod Znievom — and on 4 August 1863 Matica slovenská was founded in Martin as a national cultural institution, paid for largely by public collections from ordinary people. Then came the Austro-Hungarian Compromise of 1867, which handed the Hungarian half of the monarchy to a government committed to a single Hungarian political nation. The three grammar schools were closed in 1874–75, and in April 1875 Matica slovenská was shut down and its property confiscated, on the stated grounds that there was no such thing as a Slovak nation.Pokojná cesta fungovala presne štrnásť rokov. V Turčianskom Svätom Martine prijalo 6. – 7. júna 1861 národné zhromaždenie Memorandum národa slovenského, ktoré žiadalo uznať Slovákov za národ s vlastným územím, školami a úradmi. Otvorili sa tri slovenské gymnáziá — v Revúcej, v Martine a v Kláštore pod Znievom — a 4. augusta 1863 vznikla v Martine Matica slovenská, národná kultúrna ustanovizeň, ktorú zaplatili najmä verejné zbierky obyčajných ľudí. Potom prišlo rakúsko-uhorské vyrovnanie roku 1867 a uhorskú polovicu monarchie dostala do rúk vláda presvedčená o jedinom uhorskom politickom národe. Tri gymnáziá zavreli v rokoch 1874 – 1875 a v apríli 1875 zatvorili aj Maticu slovenskú a zhabali jej majetok — s odôvodnením, že slovenský národ neexistuje.
