In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts U-Arkansas Prof. Albert Cheng and Center for Public Schools' Alisha Searcy interview Randall Woods, John A. Cooper Distinguished Professor of History at the University of Arkansas, and author of John Quincy Adams: A Man for the Whole People. Prof. Woods shares the life and career of American statesman John Quincy Adams, the “first son of the Republic,” whose upbringing in the household of John and Abigail Adams shaped his lifelong devotion to public service. He reflects on Adams's early diplomatic triumphs, including the Treaty of Ghent and the Monroe Doctrine, as well as the 1824 election that resulted in him becoming the sixth U.S. President. Prof. Woods describes the highlights of Adams's congressional career—his leadership in overturning the “gag rule” on antislavery petitions and his powerful U.S. Supreme Court defense of the Amistad Africans' revolt at sea — before turning to the significance of his voluminous diaries in guiding future generations of the Adams family and American public servants. Woods concludes the interview by reading a favorite passage from his biography, John Quincy Adams: A Man for the Whole People.

Ein Autor schreibt: „Ausdauer ist Leidenschaft und Durchhaltevermögen für langfristige Ziele. Sie ist ein Marathon, kein Sprint… Du läufst nicht nur, sondern wirst unterwegs auch behindert. Ausdauer hält dich in Bewegung trotz Ablehnung, Niederlagen und Widrigkeiten. Wenn das Leben dich niederschlägt, willst du vielleicht aufgeben, doch Ausdauer lässt dich nicht aufhören… Wahre Ausdauer beginnt damit, zu wissen, was du wirklich willst. Wenn du dein Ziel klar vor Augen hast, arbeitest du hart und gibst nicht auf. Wahre Ausdauer wird auch durch Klarheit, Ziel, Leidenschaft, Optimismus, Glauben, Liebe, Hoffnung und sogar Sturheit vorangetrieben. Dein ‚Warum‘ zu kennen, nicht aufzugeben, Kritiker zu ignorieren, an das Mögliche zu glauben, zu lieben, was du tust, und jeden Tag an dein Projekt zu glauben, hält dich auf dem Weg zu deiner Vision. In jedem von uns steckt etwas, das nach Wert und Bedeutung strebt. Doch nicht jeder wird deine Vision teilen oder an dein Projekt glauben. Aber die Umstände um dich herum und die Meinungen anderer definieren oder bestimmen dich nicht. Leben entsteht nie von außen nach innen. Du erschaffst dein Leben von innen nach außen. Die Ausdauer und der Geist in dir formen das Leben, das du draußen erlebst. Hast du eine Vision, halte sie lebendig. Erinnere dich an dein Ziel. Zeige dich jeden Tag und mache deine Arbeit.“ John Quincy Adams sagte: „Geduld und Ausdauer haben eine magische Wirkung, vor der Schwierigkeiten verschwinden.“ Bleib auf Kurs, mach weiter, und du wirst Erfolg haben.

What did “free speech” mean before the Civil War...and what did it cost? Today, I'm exploring how Americans have debated the meaning of liberty through words, images, and even violence beginning with Samuel Jennings's 1792 painting 'Liberty Displaying the Arts and Sciences' in 1790. Commissioned by Philadelphia's Library Company, this version of liberty is imagined as a goddess who uses her staff to bestow knowledge and emancipation.  Fast forward six decades, and a very different rod appears in the infamous 1856 caning of Senator Charles Sumner, captured in the print engraving 'Southern Chivalry.' Here, a gold-topped cane becomes a weapon to silence anti-slavery speech on the Senate floor. Along the way, we'll trace how abolitionists like Benjamin Franklin, John Quincy Adams, and Frederick Douglass defended speech as action, not abstraction, and how attempts to gag or punish words have only sharpened conflict in American history. Today's Works: Samuel Jennings, ‘Liberty Displaying the Arts and Sciences, or The Genius of America Encouraging the Emancipation of the Blacks' (c. 1792). Library Company of Philadelphia. and  John L. Magee, ‘Southern chivalry - argument versus clubs.' 1856. ______ New episodes every month. Let's keep in touch!

Saving Elephants | Millennials defending & expressing conservative values

On July 6 Saving Elephants assembled an august team of commentators to commemorate the advent of the United States turning the big 2-4-9!  With only one year to go until the nation is 250 years old, the group reflects on the foundational ideas of America, whether she's succeed or failed at those aspirations, and what the future holds for this most exceptional of nations.   Meet the panelists:   Lura Forcum   Lura Forcum leads the Independent Center, the nation's go-to organization for information, research, and engagement with independent voters, representing those who are fed up with partisan politics and feel politically homeless.   Lura holds a PhD in marketing and consumer psychology from Indiana University (Kelley School of Business).

Michael Sparks walked into a thrift store and bought a souvenir copy of the US Declaration of Independence for $2.48. Later, as he looked closely at his parchment copy, he felt there was something unusual about it. So he had it assessed by experts, who told him it was one of now thirty-six remaining copies of two hundred commissioned by John Quincy Adams in 1820. Sparks then sold his rare copy of the Declaration for $477,650! While the acquisition of this treasure for such a small price is astounding, there’s a treasure that’s infinitely better. As a child, I found out about a priceless, matchless, and eternal treasure that didn’t cost me a cent. But I didn’t find it at a thrift store. My parents revealed to me that a man named Jesus had purchased this gift by giving His life on the cross as a sacrifice for my sins. They then told me this gift was called salvation. It promised the treasure of an abundant “life to the full” on earth (John 10:10) and an “eternal life . . . life in [God’s] Son” with Jesus (1 John 5:11-12). I accepted that gift by faith. It's amazing to find an earthly treasure at low cost, but that can’t compare with the eternal treasure Christ offers at no cost. This treasure offered to each person is received as we “believe in name of the Son of God”—Jesus (v. 13).

He was the first chief executive not born a British citizen and the first to use the party system to chart his way from tavern-keeper's son to the pinnacle of power.This new biography of Van Buren - the first full-scale portrait in four decades - charts his ascent from a tavern in the Hudson Valley to the presidency, concluding with his late-career involvement in an antislavery movement. Offering vivid profiles of the day's leading figures (Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, John Calhoun, John Quincy Adams, DeWitt Clinton, James K.

What does it mean to truly live out our faith? In this thoughtprovoking episode of the American Soul Podcast, Jesse Cope challenges us to examine what receives our time, attention, and energy each day.Do we claim God is our priority but fail to make time for prayer and Scripture? Do our spouses know they're valued, or do screens and entertainment push them aside? These piercing questions set the stage for a deeper exploration of faith in action versus empty religious observance.Through Benjamin Franklin's writings, Jesse reveals how this founding father—often mischaracterized as a deist—actually understood the biblical concept that works demonstrate but don't earn salvation. Franklin wrote that true religion isn't about "holiday keeping" or "sermon reading" but manifests in "works of kindness, charity, mercy and public spirit."The episode weaves through powerful historical accounts, including the persecution during the Inquisition and the moving story of James Otis, an early American patriot who suffered greatly for standing for liberty. These narratives illuminate why America's founders were concerned about preventing religious persecution while maintaining the central role of Christian principles in public life.Throughout the conversation, Jesse returns to a central theme: caring for widows, orphans, and the vulnerable isn't optional for believers—it's essential evidence of genuine faith. As he puts it, "If we look at the widow and the orphan and we don't do anything about it, we're not producing any fruit."Whether you're examining your own priorities or seeking to understand the deep connection between faith and America's founding principles, this episode offers both challenge and encouragement. As difficult times approach, Jesse reminds us of John Quincy Adams' wisdom: "Duty is ours, results are God's."Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

What does it mean to truly treasure God's Word in a nation drifting toward spiritual lukewarmness? In this reflective episode, Jesse Cope challenges listeners to examine their relationship with Scripture and asks whether we genuinely appreciate the freedom to read the Bible without fear of persecution—a privilege denied to countless believers throughout history and in many parts of the world today.Diving into Revelation 5, Jesse emphasizes the unparalleled uniqueness of Jesus Christ, cautioning against any teaching that elevates other figures to His level. The discussion threads through John Quincy Adams' profound wisdom that "duty is ours, results are God's," offering a liberating framework for faithful living that focuses on obedience rather than outcomes. This perspective transforms how we approach both our spiritual walk and our responsibilities as citizens.The episode unveils surprising insights from Thomas Jefferson's writings about Christianity, challenging modern misconceptions about our founding fathers. "Had nothing been added to what flowed from Jesus' lips, the whole world would at this day have been Christian," Jefferson wrote, revealing a deep appreciation for Christ's teachings that rarely appears in contemporary education. These historical threads connect to powerful accounts of Medal of Honor recipients whose courage exemplifies the highest ideals of sacrifice, followed by sobering historical accounts of religious persecution that highlight the preciousness of religious liberty.As our culture increasingly distances itself from biblical foundations, Jesse encourages listeners to strengthen relationships between Christians and conservatives across all spheres of influence—from family and education to business and politics. The spiritual battle for America's soul continues in each generation, requiring intentional effort to uphold the principles that once defined our national character. Whether you're a longtime listener or newcomer to the American Soul Podcast, you'll find both challenge and encouragement in this thoughtful exploration of faith, freedom, and our collective heritage.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

The American Soul
Have We Forgotten What Made America Great?

The American Soul

What happens when a nation built on faith abandons its spiritual foundation? In this powerful exploration of America's soul, we confront the hard truth that our country's struggles—economic, cultural, and political—stem from a deeper spiritual crisis.Drawing from the prophetic warnings in the Book of Haggai, we see striking parallels to modern America: "You have planted much, but harvest little. You eat but are not satisfied. You drink but are still thirsty. Your wages disappear as though you were putting them in pockets filled with holes." These ancient words resonate with our current national condition, where material abundance coexists with spiritual emptiness.The podcast examines Ronald Reagan's prescient "Time for Choosing" speech from 1964, which warned that "freedom has never been so fragile, so close to slipping from our grasp." Decades later, these words ring truer than ever as we witness the erosion of constitutional protections and traditional values. But the solution isn't merely political—it requires rebuilding on the "rock of honesty and fairness, with the cement of faith in God."This spiritual renewal must begin personally. Have you made time for God today? Is your spouse truly your second priority after God? Our individual choices reflect our true values, and honest self-assessment is the first step toward transformation. As Barry Goldwater once advised his son: "There is no foundation like the rock of honesty and fairness, and when you begin to build your life on that rock with the cement of faith in God, then you have a real start."Turn back to God and Jesus Christ—in your personal life, your marriage, and your community. While it might be too late for our nation, remember John Quincy Adams' wisdom: "The duty is ours, the results are God's."

Some say that Martin Van Buren was one of themost remarkable politicians—not only of his time, but in American presidential history. Co-editor of the Martin Van Buren Papers, James M. Bradley writes this new biography of the 8th president of the United States . Van Buren was the first chief executive not born a British citizen, and the first to use the party system to chart his way from tavern-keeper's son to the pinnacle of power. Additionally, he was the principal architect of the party system and one of the founders of the Democratic Party, he came to dominate New York-then the most influential state in the Union-and was instrumental in electing Andrew Jackson president. Van Buren's skills as a political strategist were unparalleled—and was coined the "Little Magician"—winning him a series of high-profile offices: US senator, New York's governor, US secretary of state, US vice president, and finally theWhite House. In his rise to power, Van Buren sought consensus and conciliation, bending to the wishes of slave interests and complicit in the dispossession of America's Indigenous population, two of the darkest chapters in American history. This first full-scale portrait charts Van Buren's ascent from a tavern in the Hudson Valley to the presidency, concluding with his late-career involvement in an antislavery movement. Offering vivid profiles of the day's leading figures including Andrew Jackson, Henry Clay, John Calhoun, John Quincy Adams, DeWitt Clinton, and James Polk, Bradley's book depicts the struggle for power in the tumultuous decadesleading up to the Civil War.About the AuthorJames M. Bradley is co-editor of the Martin Van Buren Papers, based at Cumberland University in Lebanon, Tennessee. He is an Adjunct Instructor in the public history program at State University of New York at Albany and was the Senior Project Editor of Encyclopedia of New York City,published by Yale University Press.          For more info on the book click HERE

The Moral Treason of Divided Loyalty: Theodore Roosevelt's Warning for Today's America

Theodore Roosevelt once warned that "hyphenated Americanism" represents "moral treason to the republic." In this soul-stirring episode, we explore how this century-old warning speaks directly to our modern crisis of divided loyalties and fractured identities.Do you approach your faith with the same intentional planning you bring to other important areas of life? Most successful people don't simply wake up and "see what happens" - they have detailed plans and disciplined routines. Yet when it comes to our spiritual lives, we often take a casual, unstructured approach. Drawing from both Scripture and historical wisdom, we examine how creating intentional habits around prayer, Bible study, and spiritual reflection can transform our relationship with God.The heart of this episode centers on the complete forgiveness offered through Christ. Reading from Colossians 2, we discover the liberating truth that Christ has "canceled out the certificate of debt" and "nailed it to the cross." Through a vulnerable personal story about a pastor who repeatedly responded to altar calls because he couldn't believe his past was truly forgiven, we confront the struggle many Christians face in accepting the completeness of God's grace.Roosevelt's powerful 1916 speech provides a framework for examining how our various identities - political, denominational, cultural - can sometimes undermine our primary commitments to Christ and country. When we place any identity above our identity in Christ or allow group loyalties to override our commitment to America's founding principles, we engage in a form of moral treason that weakens both our faith and our nation.This episode challenges you to examine where your primary loyalties lie and to embrace John Quincy Adams' wisdom: "Duty is ours, results are God's." By measuring your spiritual growth against your own past rather than comparing yourself to others, you can focus on steady progress in your relationship with Christ rather than perfectionism or spiritual competition.Join us for this thought-provoking exploration of faith, identity, and national purpose that will leave you reconsidering how you approach both your spiritual journey and your role as an American citizen.Support the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe

There's an old saying: “A picture is worth a thousand words.” By that count, artist Peter Waddell is a masterful storyteller. Beginning in 2004, the White House Historical Association commissioned the artist to create well-researched paintings to represent different periods from White House history that were not drawn, painted, or photographed definitively in their own times. The result is a collection of over a dozen pieces of artwork that capture lesser known moments of presidential life at the White House. Stewart McLaurin, President of the White House Historical Association, spoke with Peter about how these moments were chosen, the meticulous research that went into these paintings, and how Peter is able to create works that transport viewers and students to another time and another place in American history. Stewart and Peter discuss three of his extraordinary paintings that are part of the White House Historical Association's collection:  A Vision Takes Form, 1796 about the construction of the White House; Tiber Creek: The Bathers which depicts a moment when President John Quincy Adams escaped a leaking boat; and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy at Malmaison, 1961 which shows Mrs. Kennedy visiting the home of Empress Josephine of France. The Empress's silk draped bed chamber appears to have inspired the redesign and decoration of the Blue Room at the White House during the Kennedy administration. You can view Peter Waddell's paintings for the White House Historical Association here.

On Friday, A'ndre chatted with Dr. Lindsay Chervinsky, a presidential historian and Executive Director of the George Washington Presidential Library, to explore President Jimmy Carter's presidential and post-presidential foreign policy legacy following his passing at age 100. The discussion began by addressing public reactions to Carter's death and why the dichotomy of a “failed presidency but outstanding post-presidency” is misleading. Dr. Chervinsky highlighted Carter's foreign policy achievements, including the Camp David Accords, normalization of relations with China, handling of the Cold War, and the Panama Canal Treaty, as well as Carter's difficulties in dealing with the Iranian Hostage Crisis and inflation.They examined Carter's presidency in the context of the geopolitical landscape of the late 1970s and his approach to diplomacy, contrasting his administration with the subsequent Reagan era. The conversation also touched on Carter's post-presidential influence on foreign policy through the Carter Center and drew parallels between his legacy redefinition and that of John Quincy Adams.
