The sun which rose upon vassals set upon freemen” (p. 5); recalling the circumstances leading to the War of 1812 and highlighting TJ, “who had devoted all his life to public service, and his transcendent talents unerringly to the promotion of republican liberty” (p. 10); summarizing the course of the war and asserting that it was a “just and necessary war, declared and conducted without any prospect or thought of foreign alliance” (p. 19); and concluding that the American “Republic stands alone in the universe. It exists as the bird of classical fable, the only one of its kind” (p. 21).
