Again, since the schools will not teach this, I provide the following
for public education and discussion of United States Heritage.
John Adams - 2nd President (1797-1801)
Political Party: Federalist
Denomination: Unitarian
Inaugural Address -1797
"...with humble reverence, I feel it to be my duty to add, if a
veneration for the religion of a people who profess and call themselves
Christians, and a fixed resolution to consider a decent respect for
Christianity among the best recommendations for the public service, can
enable me in any degree to comply with your wishes, it shall be my
strenuous endeavor that this sagacious injunction of the two Houses
shall not be without effect.
With this great example before me, with the sense and spirit, the
faith and honor, the duty and interest, of the same American people
pledged to sup****t the Constitution of the United States, I entertain
no doubt of its continuance in all its energy, and my mind is prepared
without hesitation to lay myself under the most solemn obligations to
sup****t it to the utmost of my power.
And may that Being who is supreme over all, the Patron of Order,
the Fountain of Justice, and the Protector in all ages of the world of
virtuous liberty, continue His blessing upon this nation and its
Government and give it all possible success and duration consistent
with the ends of His providence."
