Words Of Wisdom
"But what do we mean by the American Revolution?
Do we mean the American war? The Revolution was effected before the war
commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change
in their religious sentiments, of their duties and obligations... This radical
change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people
was the real American Revolution."
--John Adams,
letter to H. Niles, 1818
