Thomas Jefferson's Seventh State of the Union Address
Since 1807
The 1807 State of the Union Address was delivered by the third president of the United States, Thomas Jefferson, on October 27, 1807. This address to the 10th United States Congress was given earlier than usual due to growing tensions with Great Britain and maritime rights violations, especially the Chesapeake–Leopard affair.
Jefferson began by addressing the ongoing British violations of U.S. neutrality, particularly the June 22, 1807, attack on the USS Chesapeake by the British frigate HMS Leopard.
