 Crukshank's edition of Banneker's 1793 almanac also contained a copy of "A Plan of a "Peace-Office", for the United States".Although the almanac did not identify the Plan's author, writers later attributed the work to Dr. Benjamin Rush, a signer of the 1776 Declaration of Independence.The Plan proposed the appointment of a "Secretary of Peace", described the Secretary's powers and advocated federal support and promotion of the Christian religion.
