A rising nation, spread over a wide and fruitful land, traversing all the seas with the rich productions of their industry, engaged in commerce with nations who feel power and forget right, advancing rapidly to destinies beyond the reach of mortal eye; when I contemplate these transcendent objects, and see the honor, the happiness, and the hopes of this beloved country committed to the issue and auspices of this day, I shrink from the contemplation and humble myself before the magnitude of the undertaking. Utterly indeed should I despair, did not the presence of many, whom I here see, remind me, that, in the other high authorities provided by our Constitution, I shall find resources of wisdom, of virtue, and of zeal, on which to rely under all difficulties. To you, then, gentlemen, who are charged with the sovereign functions of legislation, and to those associated with you, I look with encouragement for that guidance and support which may enable us to steer with safety the vessel in which we are all embarked, amidst the conflicting elements of a troubled world.First Inaugural Address, Thomas Jefferson, 1801Historical Context:Intended Audience:Point of view:Purpose: The evil of overcrowding is magnified to a prodigious extent in New York, which, being the part of arrival–the Gate of the New World– receives a certain addition to its population from almost every ship-load of emigrants that passes through Castle Garden. There is scarcely any city in the world possessing greater resources than New York, but these resources have long since been strained to the very uttermost to meet the yearly increasing demands created by this continuous accession to its inhabitants… The Irish in America, 1867Historical Context:Intended Audience:Point of view:Purpose: I went up to the Capitol and heard Mr. King in the Senate, upon what is called the Missouri question… There was nothing new in his argument, but he unravelled with ingenious and subtle analysis many of the sophistical tissues of the slave-holders. He laid down the position of the natural liberty of man, and its incompatibility with slavery in any shape. He also questioned the Constitutional right of the President and Senate to make the Louisiana Treaty… he spoke, however, with great great power, and the great slaveholders in the House gnawed their lips and clenched their fists as they heard him… The slave-holders cannot hear of them without being seized with cramps. They call them seditious and inflammatory, when their greatest real defect is their timidity. Never since human sentiments and human conduct were influenced by human speech was there a theme for eloquence like the free side of this question now before Congress of this Union. By what fatality does it happen that all the most eloquent orators of the body are on its slavish side? There is a great mass of cool judgment and plain sense on the side of freedom and humanity, but the ardent spirits and passions are on the side of oppression. Oh, ifbut one man could arise with a genius capable of comprehending, a heart capable of supporting, and an utterance capable of communicating those eternal truths that belong to this question, to lay bare in all its nakedness that outrage upon the gooness of God, human slavery, now is the time, and this is the occasion, uponw hcich such a man would perform the duties of an angel upon earth!Reflections on the Missouri Question, John Quincy Adams, 1820Historical Context:Intended Audience:Point of view:Purpose: My beloved brethren: All the inhabitants of the earth, (except the sons of Africa) are called men, and of course are and ought to be free. But we, (coloured people) and our children are brutes!! And of course are, and ought to be slaves to the American people and their children forever! To dig their mines and work their farms; and thus go on enriching them, from one generation to another with our blood and our tears!I promised in a preceding page to demonstrate to the satisfaction of the most increduous, that we, (coloured people of the United States of America) are the most wretched, degraded and abject seet of beings that ever lived sin
