About this item

In 1807, Samuel Willard (1776-1859) was ordained as minister in Deerfield, Massachusetts. His increasingly Unitarian philosophy eventually caused the orthodox members of the church to leave and form their own congregation in 1835. The hymn he composed for the country’s 50th birthday celebration on July 4, 1826, unites the themes of patriotism and religion.
