1790s

In America, President George Washington delivers the first “State of the Union Address” on January 8, 1790. Benjamin Franklin dies on April 17, 1790 in Philadelphia, PA. Washington, DC, is established as the capital of the United States, in 1791. Considered as some of the Industrial Revolution’s earlier days, the 1790s called for the start of an anti-imperialist world, as new democracies such as the French First Republic and the United States of America began flourishing at this era. Revolutions – both political and social – forever transformed global politics and art, as wars such as the French Revolutionary Wars and the American Revolutionary War molded modern-day concepts of liberalism, partisanship, elections, and the political compass. Marie Antoinette was beheaded in 1793.

George Washington Quote: “…There is but One Straight Course, and that is to Seek Truth and Pursue it Steadily.” 

President George Washington in a letter to Edmund Randolph, July 31, 1795: "I am not disposed to quit the ground I have taken, unless circumstances more imperious than have yet come to my knowledge should compel it; for there is but one straight course, and that is to seek truth and pursue it steadily."  ...

William Paley: "Condemnation before investigation is the height of ignorance"

William Paley: “Condemnation before investigation is the height of ignorance”

This is the story of a famous quotation and the environments in which it has adapted and survived. To the 20th and 21st centuries, the story would seem to begin in the year 1939 when the book Alcoholics Anonymous was published. A contributing author of that text used a quotation to head his chapter. He attributed the quotation to a man named Herbert Spencer, presumably the ...

President Washington Laid the Cornerstone for the U.S. Capitol Building which was First Used as a Church

Capitol Building Houses a Church Before Congress Before the United States Capitol was used by the Senate or House of Representatives, it was used as a church—or perhaps more accurately as churches.

James Madison: Who Are the Best Keepers of the People’s Liberties?

Republican. — The people themselves. The sacred trust can be no where so safe as in the hands most interested in preserving it. Anti-republican. — The people are stupid, suspicious, licentious. They cannot safely trust themselves. When they have established government they should think of nothing but obedience, leaving the care of their liberties to their wiser rulers. Republican. — Although all men are born free, and all nations ...
National Gazette Article on 'The Spirit of Governments' by James Madison and Anon.

National Gazette Article on ‘The Spirit of Governments’ by James Madison and Anon.

No government is perhaps reducible to a sole principle of operation. Where the theory approaches nearest to this character, different and often heterogeneous principles mingle their influence in the administration. It is useful nevertheless to analyze the several kinds of government, and to characterize them by the spirit which predominates in each. Montesquieu has resolved the great operative principles of government into fear, honor, and virtue, ...

Alexander Hamilton, Secretary of The Treasury, Brings about the Creation of the Nations First, “Bank of The United States”

The history of central banking in the United States does not begin with the Federal Reserve. The Bank of the United States received its charter in 1791 from the U.S. Congress and was signed by President Washington. The Bank's charter was designed by Secretary of the Treasury Alexander Hamilton, modeling it after the Bank of England, the British central bank. The Bank met with considerable controversy ...
