...fear very much that if certain modern Americans," and the President's voice began to rasp for the first time, "who protest loudly their devotion to American ideals, were suddenly to be given a comprehensive view of the earliest American colonists and their methods of life and government, they would promptly label them socialists. . . . We know, however, that although this school persisted . . . during the first three national Administrations it was eliminated, for many years at least, under the leadership of President Thomas Jefferson and his successors.
