"Steadiness of faith was, in the long run, as illuminating and essential as sophistication of thought. The art of leadership required both, as did the nation." - Jon Meacham
Two perspectives on faith, amidst the early years of the struggling, slavery-torn American nation:
"My hopes of a long continuance of this Union are extinct." - John Quincy Adams, 6th U.S. President
"I, for one, do not despair of the Republic. The Republic is safe." - Andrew Jackson, 7th U.S. President
Wonder why Adams lost the re-election?
