What is the connection between the Fourth of July and Christmas?

John Quincy Adams delivered a speech on July 4th, 1837 asking this very question. What is the link between liberty as expressed in the Declaration of Independence and Bethlehem? Historically, why have Americans held these two holidays in such high regard?

For the first time since this speech was originally published, the words of John Quincy Adams come to life on the pages of An Oration: John Quincy Adams’ Christian America. Delivered just 24 years before the outbreak of the Civil War, President Adams’ message was viewed as profound in 1837 and still speaks to the nation today.

Join American scholars David Zanotti and Dr. W.B. Allen as they present the profound words of John Quincy Adams, along with insightful commentary throughout this work. Learn firsthand from original source documents alongside these professors of thought.
