Thomas Jefferson congratulates Samuel Adams, an old-line Revolutionary radical, on the Republican victory, with a naval allegory for the ship of state: The storm is over, and we are in port. Jefferson viewed his victory as a return to the true meaning of the Revolution and hoped for an entire oblivion of past feuds.
