As another student commented, while reading "A Jeffersonian Sailmaker's Fourth of July Address," I was surprised by how hypocritical it was. Wendover talks about the "Emancipation of a Nation," "Equal Rights," and "Rights of Man," but all of these apply solely to white males. It just amazes me how people could proclaim these republican ideals and yet refuse to apply them to African Americans and Native Americans. -Iris Onks | As another student commented, while reading "A Jeffersonian Sailmaker's Fourth of July Address," I was surprised by how hypocritical it was.

| + | I understand that in "A Jeffersonian Sailmakers Fourth of July Address" when he first talks about "GOD, who interposed for our country, relieved us from thradldom, and saved us with an omnipotent arm...." he is talking about the God from above, but is he talking about the same God when he says "to that GOD who governs the nations, and awards the destinies of men", or someone different?- Bryan Quintana | ||
In "A Jeffersonian Sailmaker's Fourth of July Address", I found it interesting how Wendover says, “That republican principles and true patriotism, can only be promoted by the practice of the moral virtues and conscious integrity.” If the people during this time believed republican principles and moral virtue were intertwined, were the personal lives of politicians being criticized? If so, was it anywhere close to what politicians go through today?
