Book Description
Excerpt from An Oration, Delivered Before the Washington Society, in Boston: On the Fourth of July, 1816 Important events occur in the history of every people, which the wisdom and patriotism of statesmen mark out to be commemorated by anniversary celebrations. There is a fitness and propriety in the thing, that at once approves itself to every reflecting mind. Nothing has a stronger tendency to nourish a lofty and generous patriotism. We seem to participate in the glory of those great deeds, which we celebrate, and the sentiment of patriotism becomes identified with that of self-love. Actions that have in themselves a character of peculiar grandeur, or that have in the current of events led to important results, cannot be left to sleep in obscurity with the common mass of history. They necessarily stand forward in bold relief among the monuments of national glory, and become, as it were, central points, around which the feelings of patriotism are rallied. What event could more suitably be selected for this purpose by any people, than the act that made them an independent nation. The declaration of Independence by the patriots of '76 was an act of that moral sublimity, that finds few parallels in the history of nations. It was an act by which an infant people set at defiance the vengeance of one of the oldest and most powerful nations in the world!

Book Description
"The year 1816 found America on the cusp of political, social,cultural, and economic modernity. Celebrating its fortieth year of independence, the country's sense of self was maturing. Americans, who had emerged from the War of 1812 with their political systemsintact, embraced new opportunities. For the first time, citizens viewed themselves not as members of a loose coalition of states but as part of a larger union. This optimism was colored, however, by bizarre weather. Periods of extreme cold and severe drought swept the northern states and the upper south throughout 1816, which was sometimes referred to as "The Year Without a Summer." Faced with thirty-degree summer temperatures, many farmers migrated west in search of better weather and more fertile farmlands. In 1816, historian C. Edward Skeen illuminates this unique year of national transition. Politically, the "era of good feelings" allowed Congress to devise programs that fostered prosperity. Social reform movements flourished. This election year found the Federalist party in its death throes, seeking cooperation with the nationalistic forces of the Republican party. Movement west, maturation of political parties, and increasingly contentious debates over such issues as slavery characterized this pivotal year. 1816 marked a watershed in American history. This provocative new book vividly highlights the stresses that threatened to pull the nation apart and the bonds that ultimately held it together.

During this period Jefferson founded the University of Virginia and sold his extraordinary library to the nation, but his greatest legacy from these years is the astonishing depth and breadth of his correspondence with statesmen, inventors, scientists, philosophers, and ordinary citizens on topics spanning virtually every field of human endeavor.--From publisher description.
