Harper's Encyclopedia of United States History (ed. Benson Lossing), Morse, Jedediah 1761-1826 (search)
phies and gazetteers of the United States, with the help of Jeremy Belknap, the historian, Thomas Hutchins, the geographer, and Ebenezer Hazen. For thirty years Mr. Morse was without an important competitor in this field of literature, and translations of his works were made into the French and German languages. Dr. Morse was a life-long polemical theologian, and combated Unitarianism in New England most sturdily. In 1805 he established the Panoplist, and was prominent in founding the Andover Theological Seminary. His persistent opposition to liberalism in religion brought upon him much persecution, which affected his naturally delicate health, and he resigned his pastoral charge in 1820. In 1822 he was commissioned by the government to visit the Indian tribes on the Northwestern frontiers. He published (1804) A Compendious history of New England; and in 1824 a History of the American Revolution. He also published twenty-five special sermons. He died in New Haven, June 9, 1826.
