The 2007 North America South and Eastern heatwave was a continuation and eastward expansion of the 2007 Western North American heat wave which began in late June 2007. The heatwave expanded eastward starting at the very end of July and lasting into the first weeks of August. This heat wave was notable for both associated severe drought over a large swath of the southeastern United States, and parts of the Great Lakes region, and its late season ending, with temperatures continuing, although more sporadically, well into the 90s °F (30s °C) into September and October in the mid-Atlantic region.

“In America the taint of sectarianism lies broad upon the land. Not content with acknowledging the supremacy as the Diety, and with erecting temples in his honor, where all can bow down with reverence, the pride and vanity of human reason enter into and pollute our worship, and the houses that should be of God and for God, alone, where he is to be honored with submissive faith, are too often merely schools of metaphysical and useless distinctions. The nation is sectarian, rather than Christian.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
“...I believe it is now the duty of the slaves of the South to rebuke their masters for their robbery, oppression and crime.... No station or character can destroy individual responsibility, in the matter of reproving sin.”
