Roger Sherman and the Creation of the American Republic
Revolutionary historians recognize Roger Sherman as the Connecticut man whose Zelig-like ability to appear at important Philadelphia events rivals that of more prominent founders. Sherman was at the Second Continental Congress, helped draft the Declaration of Independence, and attended the Constitutional Convention, faithfully representing the “Land of Steady Habits.” In Connecticut, Sherman was a legislative bulwark, serving in the upper house a…

Patrick Henry
Patrick Henry is best remembered today for stirring oratory and memorable phrasing, most notably his 1775 speech in which he roared, “[G]ive me liberty or give me death!” Henry's alleged reason for avoiding the 1787 Constitutional Convention—“I smelt a rat”—ranks a close second. But whatever words come to mind, Patrick Henry, patriot orator, looms large in the public memory. Less well known, however, is Patrick Henry, Christian politico, whose re…

The Birth of Empire
DeWitt Clinton (1769-1828) was one of the nation's strongest political leaders in the first quarter of the nineteenth century, serving as mayor of New York City, governor of the state, and narrowly losing the Presidential race of 1812 to James Madison. Patrician in his sentiments, Clinton nevertheless invented new forms of party politics. His greatest achievement, the Erie Canal, hastened the economic expansion of the country, altered the politic…

Defining Noah Webster
Noah Webster was America's premier educator during her first half-century. As a writer of textbooks, as a magazine and newspaper editor, and as a lexicographer, he sought to improve the intellectual and moral level of the new nation. In his early years, he was a disciple of a Common Sense philosophy that blended its insights with Christian belief. Webster felt that men could be reasoned into proper morality. In 1908, however, he underwent a Chris…
