A Massachusetts Yankee in the Court of Charleston: Jasper Adams, College President in Antebellum South Carolina By Gerald Vaughn Massachusetts clergyman and educator Jasper Adams (1793-1841) was among the line of notable descendants of Henry Adams (1583- 1646), who fled persecution in England circa 1630 and settled on a farm in the Braintree area, then part of Boston. The most notable of Henry Adams’s descendants include U.S. presidents John Adams, John Quincy Adams, Millard Fillmore, William Howard Taft, and Calvin Coolidge, and Vice-President Richard Cheney. John Adams erected a monument in Henry Adams’s honor in Quincy, Massachusetts. Jasper Adams grew to manhood in Massachusetts.

    Book Reviews 307 Pressly deserves praise for his accomplishment in pre- senting this survey of intellectual history, and for providing the student and general reader with a useful summary of the major literature of the Civil War. And, considering the world in which Pressly writes, it is a matter of moment to have this important reminder that honest men may differ in their interpretations of events. Earlham College Harold M. Hyman The Writing of American History. By Michael Kraus. (Norman, Oklahoma : University of Oklahoma Press, 1953, pp. x, 386. Index. $5.50.) American historiography began with the Norse sagas but with the Spanish historians there began a chain of narration that links with our own day, and Richard Hakluyt was to write volumes about imperial expansion before the English began their colonization of America. With this introduction Michael Kraus takes up the historians of the first settle- ments-John Smith, William Bradford, John Winthrop, and on through the Mathers. The chapters that follow, in the main, proceed chronologically : The Era of Colonialism ; The Growing National Spirit: 1750-1800 ; Gathering the Records- Awaiting the National Historian ; Patriots, Romantics-and Hildreth; Francis Parkman; The Rise of the “Scientific School” ; Henry Adams ; The Nationalist School ; The Imperial School of Colonial History ; The Frontier and Sectional Histor- ians ; Biography ; and Contemporary Trends. In 1891 James Franklin Jameson published a sketch of American historical writing, carrying his study to the 1880’s. In 1917 John Spencer Bassett published his The Middle Group of American Historians, chiefly concerned with Sparks, Bancroft, and Peter Force. Not until 1937 when Michael Kraus published his A History of American History was any survey of the whole field of American historical writing available.

  • Silence Over Their Tombs
    Wickstrom 1 Silence Over Their Tombs: A Microhistory of American Perceptions of Alcoholism in the Late Eighteenth and Early Nineteenth Centuries Using the Adams Family Papers A Senior Project presented to the Faculty of the History Department California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo Dr. Murphy In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Bachelor of Arts in History By Lucy Wickstrom June 2020 Wickstrom 2 Abstract The perception of alcohol addiction in the United States of America has changed numerous times throughout the nation’s history, with people accepting it as a mere part of life in the colonial era before preachers and thinkers began to denounce it as a vice and a moral failure. The influential writings of respected patriot Dr. Benjamin Rush, however, initiated a fundamental shift in the way that Americans understood alcoholism, as he was the first to make the argument that it was a disease beyond the control of its sufferers. This paper uses the example of the famous Adams family to illustrate this shift in thought, since both of John Adams’s younger sons, Charles and Thomas, died from complications related to alcoholism. By examining the writings of the family left behind in the Adams Family Papers, as well as other relevant primary documents, I argue that the Adams family was influenced by changing societal ideas as they addressed Thomas’s struggles quite differently from the way they had Charles’s decades earlier. Wickstrom 3 Introduction On March 17, 1777, John Adams wrote a letter to his third child and middle son, Charles.

John Quincy Adams Influence on Washington’s Farewell Address: A Critical Examination By Stephen Pierce In the last official letter to President Washington as Minister to the Netherlands in 1797, John Quincy Adams expressed his deepest thanks and reverence for the appointment that was bestowed upon him by the chief executive. As Washington finished his second and final term in office, Adams stated, “I shall always consider my personal obligations to you among the strongest motives to animate my industry and invigorate my exertions in the service of my country.” After his praise to Washington, he went into his admiration of the president’s 1796 Farewell Address.

  • We Are Determined to Foment a Rebellion Letter to Mercy Otis Warren, 1776
    We Are Determined to Foment a Rebellion Letter to Mercy Otis Warren, 1776 This section, Call to Reform, begins with a letter from Abigail Smith Adams to Mercy Otis Warren. Both women were early unitarians be- fore there was an official Unitarian church in the United States. They also shared a concern that the new government of the republic should provide equity for women. ABIGAIL SMITH ADAMS (1744-1818) was a lady of letters, afarmer, a patriot of the American Revolution, and First Lady of the United States. Writing just before the signing of the Declaration of Indepen- dence, she expressed to her friend her frustration at the negative re- sponse she had received from her husband, John Adams (later the sec- ond president of the United States), when she asked him to make sure the laws for the new country be based on "just and liberal principles" that would apply to women as well as men. When he scoffed at her re- quest, she threatened to foment "a Rebellion" if the rights of women were ignored. See the Biographical Sketch on pages 8-12. Braintree, Massachusetts, April 27, 1776 To Mercy Otis Warren, He [Mr. Adams] is very saucy to me, in return for a list of female griev- ances which I transmitted to him. I think I will get you to join me in a petition to Congress. I thought it was very probable our wise statesmen would erect a new government and form a new code oflaws. I ventured to speak a word in behalf of our sex who are rather hardly dealt with by the laws of England which gives such unlimited power to the hus- band to use his wife ill.

Ohio Sttite University Press $6.50 America, IXuaata, S>emp, anb Napoleon American Trade with Russia and the Baltic, 1783-1812 BY ALFRED W. CROSBY, JR. On the twelfth of June, 1783, a ship of 500 tons sailed into the Russian harbor of Riga and dropped anchor. As the tide pivoted her around her mooring, the Russians on the waterfront could see clearly the banner that she flew — a strange device of white stars on a blue ground and horizontal red and white stripes. Russo-American trade had irrevocably begun. Merchants — Muscovite and Yankee — had met and politely sounded the depths of each other's purses. And they had agreed to do business. In the years that followed, until 1812, the young American nation became economically tied to Russia to a degree that has not, perhaps, been realized to date. The United States desperately needed Russian hemp and linen; the American sailor of the early nineteenth century — who was possibly the most important individual in the American economy — thought twice before he took any craft not equipped with Russian rigging, cables, and sails beyond the harbor mouth. To an appreciable extent, the Amer­ ican economy survived and prospered because it had access to the unending labor and rough skill of the Russian peasant. The United States found, when it emerged as a free (Continued on back flap) America, Hossia, fiemp, and Bapolcon American Trade with Russia and the Baltic, 1783-1812 America, llussia, iicmp, and Bapolton American Trade with Russia and the Baltic, 1783-1811 BY ALFRED W.
