Noah Webster fought for American independence<\/a> with the one weapon mightier than the sword.<\/p>\n

He wielded his pen with great influence on the identity of the sprawling, proud and ambitious new United States.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The New England native\u2019s impact on our national heritage proved far greater than just the new words of the American-English dictionary that still bears his name.<\/p>\n

“Webster was very much in the truest sense of the word a patriotic American<\/a>,” Peter Sokolowski, “dictionary ambassador” and editor at large for Merriam-Webster, based in Massachusetts, told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

“He believed the new political America also needed a new cultural America, that there had to be cultural identity as distinct from Britain<\/a> as our new political identity was distinct from Britain.”<\/p>\n

Webster was an outspoken advocate of American independence during the era of rebellion and early nationhood.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The lexicographer was pen pals with Founding Fathers John Adams, Ben Franklin, Alexander Hamilton and the new nation\u2019s greatest swordsman, George Washington.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Webster has been dubbed “The Forgotten Founding Father,” most notably in the 2012 biography of that name by Joshua Kendall.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was also known as “The Schoolmaster of the Republic” \u2014 a testament to the remarkable success of his spelling book, ubiquitous in American schoolrooms<\/a> throughout the 19th century.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Webster almost singlehandedly ensured that a nation, now 330 million strong and rooted in almost every language on the planet, has a common way to communicate.\u00a0<\/p>\n

American English has proven a unifying force in the world’s most dynamic and diverse immigrant nation.<\/p>\n

The word “immigrant”<\/a> was actually one of the 12,000 new words first used by Americans \u2014 and first defined by Webster.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“Now is the time, and this [is] the country,” Webster wrote in 1789 in his “Dissertations on the English Language,” dubbed America\u2019s linguistic Declaration of Independence.<\/p>\n

“Let us then seize the present moment, and establish a national language, as well as a national government.”<\/p>\n

Noah Webster Jr. was born on Oct. 16, 1758, in what\u2019s now West Hartford, Connecticut<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Noah Webster Sr. was a farmer and descendant of John Webster, an Englishman who became one of the first settlers of Hartford in 1636.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Mother Mercy Steele was the great-great-granddaughter of Pilgrim leader William Bradford.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The younger Webster apparently had little appetite for the hard work required on the family\u2019s 90-acre farm.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“I wish to enjoy life, but books and writing<\/a> will ever be my principal pleasure,” Webster wrote years later in a letter to George Washington. “I must write; it is a happiness I cannot sacrifice.”<\/p>\n

Webster was a teenager during the outbreak of the American Revolution. He spent much of war years as a student at Yale in New Haven,<\/a> Connecticut.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He proved willing to sacrifice all for the cause of independence.\u00a0<\/p>\n

British forces marched south through New York<\/a> in the summer of 1777, leaving a path of “terror and devastation,” according to period reports.<\/p>\n

Webster Sr. was the captain of the local militia and gathered his men to meet the British forces. Webster Jr. joined the 60-mile march. <\/p>\n

The British were defeated and turned back by a colonial force led by fellow Connecticut native, and still-American hero, Benedict Arnold<\/a>, before the West Hartford group could join the fight.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“The little band of militia men from the West Division of Hartford returned home without firing a shot, but were most willing to fight and die for their country,” Jeffrey Mainville, executive director of the Noah Webster House, told Fox News Digital via email. <\/p>\n

Webster\u2019s prolific pen began shaping the new nation with his “Sketches of American Policy,” written in 1785.<\/p>\n

“Virtually every educated man in America who participated in the affairs of government read Webster\u2019s\u00a0Sketches,” Harlow Giles Unger wrote in his biography, “Noah Webster: The Life and Times of an American Patriot.”<\/p>\n

Webster made his biggest impact on the new nation, however, in the schoolroom with his spectacularly successful textbook, commonly known as the “Blue-Backed Speller,” first published in 1783.<\/p>\n

MEET THE AMERICAN WHO GAVE THE NATION OUR THANKSGIVING ORIGIN STORY: PILGRIM EDWARD WINSLOW<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The schoolbook\u00a0“taught children how to read, write, spell and pronounce words for over 100 years,” says the National Museum of Language in College Park, Maryland<\/a>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The “Blue-Backed Speller” was, by many reports, the bestselling book in America of the 19th century, after The Bible, with estimates of total sales as high as 100 million copies.<\/p>\n

The windfall from the textbook afforded Webster the opportunity to pursue his true passion: defining the language of the new nation. <\/p>\n

Webster\u2019s collection of words expanded with the breathless expansion of the new United States.<\/p>\n

The “Blue-Backed Speller” was published in the same year that\u00a0British crown recognized American Independence with the Treaty of Paris.<\/p>\n

He began exercising his power to define the national lexicon with his “Compendious Dictionary of the American Language.”<\/p>\n

It expanded American English with 5,000 new words and was published in 1806 \u2014 the same year that Lewis & Clark returned from<\/a> expanding the nation\u2019s sense of identity all the way to the Pacific Coast.<\/p>\n

Among new American words defined for the first time by Webster: “skunk,” “chowder” and, most profoundly, “immigrant.”<\/p>\n

“Immigrate” existed as a verb. But it was first used as a noun in spoken American English vernacular in 1789, according to Merriam-Webster “dictionary ambassador” Sokolowski.<\/p>\n

Webster defined “immigrant” as “one who removes into a country.”<\/p>\n

“He was on top of the word \u2018immigrant\u2019 almost from the get-go,” said Sokowlski, marveling at the speed at which Webster discovered, defined and published the new word with limited technology.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He collected words the way all the lexicographers did,” said Sokolowski. “He used little slips of paper.”<\/p>\n

With that rudimentary system, Webster published his staggering landmark “American Dictionary of the English Language” in 1828.\u00a0<\/p>\n

MEET THE AMERICAN WHO CREATED THE KENTUCKY DERBY, MERIWETHER LEWIS CLARK JR., BORN OF PIONEERS<\/u><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

It spelled and defined 70,000 words, 12,000 of which had never appeared in British English dictionaries \u2014 further distancing the new nation from its former colonial master.<\/p>\n

Webster was singularly responsible for many of the differences between British English and American English spellings today: colour became color; analyse became analyze; and defence became defense, among other notable examples encoded by Webster.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Brits travelled \u2014 but Americans traveled.<\/p>\n

Yet Americans don\u2019t travel too far today to find proof of their distinct form of English.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Canada still uses traditional British spellings of words that America changed 200 or more years ago, despite the two nations sharing common pop culture, pro sports and a 5,525-mile border.<\/p>\n

“We had a revolution, and they didn\u2019t,” Joseph Janes, an associate professor at the University of Washington Information School in Seattle<\/a>, told Fox News Digital.<\/p>\n

He added, “Webster feels very deeply about America as a concept and as a country distinct from everywhere else.”<\/p>\n

Webster added his last words to the dictionary 1841, at 82 years old. Among the newcomers that year: feminism and terrorism.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Feminism was essentially a synonym for feminine, notes Sokolowski \u2014 while terrorism referred specifically to the horrors of the French Revolution.<\/p>\n

Noah Webster died on May 28, 1843. He was 84 years old.\u00a0<\/p>\n

His legacy is best kept today at the Noah Webster House in West Hartford, a saltbox-style colonial where the educator was born and raised.\u00a0<\/p>\n

It\u2019s now a National Historic Landmark, open to the public six days a week.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“He had no real ability to look this far and see what America would become.” Jeffrey Mainville, executive director of the Noah Webster House in West Hartford told Fox News Digital.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“But the fact is that he took a path to document a truly American language and culture.”<\/p>\n

Blue Back Square in West Hartford is a popular retail and residential development in West Hartford, the name a nod to Webster\u2019s influential spelling primer.<\/p>\n

Webster\u2019s other achievements are almost too numerous to mention.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He was tapped by Alexander Hamilton to edit his Federalist newspaper in New York City in the 1790s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

He served in the Connecticut House of Representatives in the early 1800s.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Webster moved to Amherst, Massachusetts<\/a> in 1815, helping to found Amherst College six years later. Today\u2019s it\u2019s a small, elite liberal arts college.<\/p>\n

He helped establish intellectual property law with the U.S. Copyright Act of 1831. The rights to his dictionary were purchased by brothers George and Charles Merriam after Webster\u2019s death.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Merriam-Webster Dictionary is published today in Springfield, Massachusetts, just 30 miles from where America\u2019s patriot with a pen was born and where he began capturing the language of brave new nation.<\/p>\n

The Merriam-Webster archives house a remarkable treasure trove of collected knowledge, said Sokolowski: There are 16 million slips of paper with individual words, some of which date back to Webster\u2019s original 18th-century curiosity and research.\u00a0<\/p>\n

“This country must, in some future time,” Webster wrote in 1783, “be as distinguished by the superiority of her literary improvements as she is already by the liberality of her civil and ecclesiastical constitutions.”<\/p>\n
