Year in Review Reflects on War and Liberty at Century Mark
A 103rd year of independence is labeled turbulent with imperialism feared in the Old World and a disquieting drift toward one man power in America. The piece notes Cuba’s rebellion, South American unrest, and Madison’s electric light as bright science, while pressing concerns about democracy, morality, and religion persist. An interview outlines a plan to move North Carolina families into Indiana for voting influence, with ties to the Baltimore and Ohio railroad and looming investigations by Senator Voorhees.
