10. Juniors-S 1802 - Ohio outlaws slavery -James Callender makes the accusation that Thomas Jefferson has "for many years past kept, as his concubine, one of his own slaves," Sally Hemings. It is published in the Richmond Recorder that month, and the story is soon picked up by Federalist presses around the country. Callender, a Republican, has previously been an avid investigator of Federalist scandals. In 1798, Jefferson had helped pay for the publication of Callender's pamphlet, The Prospect Before Us, which claimed to expose John Adams as a monarchist.

14. Juniors-S "May [our Declaration of Independence] be to the world, what I believe it will be (to some parts sooner, to others later, but finally to all), the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish (simple) ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government...
