It is common knowledge that he was an Anglican, yet friendly and cooperative with Virginia Presbyterians. However, historians have yet to go beyond those general categories to the specific strains of Presbyterianism and Anglicanism which Henry uniquely harmonized into a unified belief system. Henry displayed a moderate, Latitudinarian, type of Anglicanism. Unlike many other Founders, his experiences with a specific strain of Presbyterianism confirmed and cooperated with these Anglican commitments. His Presbyterian influences could also be described as moderate, and latitudinarian in a more general sense. These religious strains worked to build a distinct religious outlook characterized by a respect for legitimate authority, whether civil, social, or religious. This study goes further to show the relevance of this distinct religious outlook for understanding Henry’s political stances. Henry’s sometimes seemingly erratic political principles cannot be understood in isolation from the wider context of his religious background. Uniquely harmonized

  • New York Legislature Recommends the Calling of a Second Constitutional Convention, 4 February-5 May 1789
    New York Legislature Recommends the Calling of a Second Constitutional Convention, 4 February-5 May 1789 Background In the summer of 1788 the idea of calling a second general convention to obtain amendments to the Constitution was not new. In the waning days of the Constitutional Convention of 1787, the notion was advocated by Elbridge Gerry of Massachusetts and George Mason and Edmund Randolph of Virginia—the three delegates who refused to sign the Constitution, in large part, because it lacked a bill of rights. On 27 September 1787, Richard Henry Lee, a delegate to the Confederation Congress, proposed amendments during the debate on how to transmit the Constitution to the states for their ratification. Congress refused to debate the substance of the amendments and reJected Lee’s proposal. Lee’s amendments were not even entered on the Journal. On 16 October Lee wrote Randolph advocating the calling of another general convention to propose amendments. Lee’s letter was printedin the Petersburg Virginia Gazette on 6 December and was reprinted widely in newspapers, a pamphlet anthology, and the Philadelphia American Museum, attracting considerable public and private commentary. In New York, it appeared in two newspapers—in the New York Journal, 22, 24 December, and in part in the Albany Gazette, 10 January 1788. On 10 October 1787 Governor Edmund Randolph wrote a letter to the Virginia legislature explaining why he had not signed the Constitution and why, in the Constitutional Convention, he had supported another general convention. He declared in his letter that no alternative was “less exceptionable” than such a convention as a way to obtain amendments.

    Virginia Calls a Second Constitutional Convention, 30 October–20 November 1788 On 27 June 1788, two days after it ratified the Constitution, the Virginia Convention recommended that the first federal Congress consider forty constitutional amendments—twenty in the form of a declaration of rights and twenty designed to change the structure of government created by the Constitution. Speaking for the people, the Convention enjoined the state’s future senators and representatives to seek the adoption of these amendments in one of the two methods provided by Article V of the Constitution—the proposal of amendments to the states by a vote of two-thirds of both houses of Congress. This method was advocated by Federalists, most of whom did not want amendments, especially amendments altering the structure of government. Antifederalists, who had wanted to ratify the Constitution with conditional amendments, refused to trust the state’s recommended amendments exclusively to Congress, which might delay acting on amendments or not act at all. Consequently, they decided to use the second procedure in Article V for proposing amendments, that is, having the state legislatures apply to Congress to call a constitutional convention, which in turn would propose amendments to the states. Once two- thirds of the state legislatures requested such a convention, Congress was required to summon it. On 20 October the Virginia legislature convened in Richmond and Governor Edmund Randolph turned over to that body the New York Convention’s Circular Letter of 26 July, which called upon the states to join New York in requesting that Congress summon a second constitutional convention “at a Period not far remote.” This measure was supported by Randolph, who had long advocated such a convention, and it was even considered by some of “the staunchest friends to ye new Constitution,” one of whom saw “prima facie … no impropriety in it” (George Lee Turberville to James Madison, 20 and 24 October).

  • CHAPTER VII. T HE News of the Bombardment of Fort Sumter, In
    CHAPTER VII. MILITARY HISTORY (Concluded). The Civil War.-The Election of Lincoln and the Fall of Sumter.-The first Call for Three-Months’ Men.-Response from the Cape Towns.-War Meetings.-Subsequent Calls.-Bounties.-Enlistments.-Return of the Volunteers.-G. A. R. Posts.-Mon- uments. HE news of the bombardment of Fort Sumter, in April, 1861, T greatly affected and changed the feelings of the political parties of the Cape; and when the surrender of the fort by Major Anderson, on the 13th, was announced, the feeling was almost unani- mous in favor of crushing the rebellion, the method remaining the only party question. Of the citizens of the Cape large numbers were engaged in various pursuits on the sea; but those at home recognized the issue as inevitable and were at once determined in their action. On the morning of Monday, April 15th, appeared the proclamation of Abraham Lincoln, calling for seventy-five thousand men for three months, to suppress the rebellion. Its effect was like an electric spark in quickening the resolution and action of the men of this county. The president’s estimate was short of the necessities of the movement, as the history of the war abundantly proved; but to his calm and judi- cious patriotism a grateful nation has erected enduring monuments of granite, and engraved his deeds upon lasting pages of history. The first official act of this Commonwealth relating to the war was the recommendation by Governor Andrew, in January, 1861, that the adjutant general ascertain with accuracy the number of officers and men of the volunteer militia of the state who would instantly respond to any call of the president of the United States for troops.
