    • "The Rising Glory of America" is a poem written by "Poet of the Revolution" Philip Freneau with a debated but likely minimal level of involvement from "not quite a Founding Father" Hugh Henry Brackenridge of western Pennsylvania. The poem was first read at their graduation from the College of New Jersey (later Princeton University) in 1771. There were two versions published, one before and one after the American Revolutionary War. It was mildly influential in describing a newfound sense of American national identity.
