"The
American war is over; but this far from being the case with the American
revolution. On the contrary, nothing but the first act of the drama is closed.
It remains yet to establish and perfect our new forms of government, and to
prepare the principles, morals, and manners of our citizens for these forms of
government after they are established and brought to perfection."
--Benjamin Rush, letter to Price, 1786
