The Rise of Liberal Principles and the American Spirit
A historic oration traces sixty seven years of independence from Britain, praising liberal principles, printing, and religion, while condemning despotism and intemperance. It contrasts England, Europe, and the United States, urging virtue, education, and public morals as the foundation of republican success. It cites Luther, the Reformation, and the spread of knowledge as turning points, and warns that vice and ignorance threaten liberty.
