Cover artwork for January 4,1775: Portrait of Samuel Seabury

Samuel Seabury was a prominent figure in the Protestant Episcopal Church on this side of the pond.

From a political standpoint, he was a Loyalist and spent some time writing pieces urging his followers not to seek independence from England.

One piece in particular, which he wrote using a pen name, lit a fire under a fellow by the name of Alexander Hamilton, who took the time to write a lengthy—35 page—reply, also under a pen name. This was just the beginning for the both of them.
