The United States elevated to Glory and Honor

The United States elevated to Glory and Honor is a book by Ezra Stiles, published in 1783.

[1][2] The book is a transcript of a sermon given to Jonathan Trumbull and the Connecticut General Assembly, on May 8, 1783.

The sermon draws parallels between the United States and the Biblical nation of Israel.

He opined that the number of Indians and Africans in the country would go down and that "Slavery may ... in God’s good providence ... be abolished and cease in the land of liberty.".

[8] Three years after the speech, Stiles sent a second, corrected version of the sermon to George Washington.
