This is the published version of the oration delivered by Thomas Smith GrimkA(c) in St. Philip's Church, Charleston, on July 4, 1809. Commissioned by the South Carolina State Society of Cincinnati and published at the request of both that society and the American Revolution Society, the oration reflects on the significance of American independence and the principles upon which the nation was founded.
GrimkA(c)'s speech offers insights into the early American understanding of liberty, civic duty, and the legacy of the Revolution. It provides a valuable perspective on the social and political climate of the early 19th century in South Carolina and the ongoing efforts to define and uphold the ideals of the new republic. This historical document offers a glimpse into the patriotic sentiments and intellectual discourse of the era.
