Recognition of the U.S. Constitution's importance increased
dramatically in 1826 due to the deaths of John Adams and Thomas
Jefferson, the election of President Andrew Jackson and the jubilee
celebration of the Declaration of Independence. At this time, a
period when public schools were increasing in number, educators
responded with coursework that promoted the virtues of the
Constitution to the nation's youth. Arthur J. Stansbury, a
Presbyterian minister known for his political speeches, wrote one
of the most popular textbooks used in the schools. Cast in the form
of questions and answers in a chronological explanation of the
Constitution, his "catechism" endowed patriotism with moral virtues
in his depiction of the nation's "highly favored" birth-right. "It
is a tribute to Stansbury, and to the document that he explicated,
that so many subsequent scholars have followed the pedagogical path
that he blazed." --JOHN R. VILE, XIX-XX ARTHUR J. STANSBURY
1781-1865], a New York Presbyterian minister, often preached on
political topics and was known for the patriotic fervor to his
addresses. His other publications were addresses and sermons,
reports of debates in Congress and trial records of judges and
clergymen. He also illustrated children's books, including The
Children's Friend (1821), a book about Christmas that included an
early depiction of Santa Claus.
