"I often note with equal pleasure
that God gave this one connected country to one united people -- a people
descended from the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the
same principles of government, very similar in manners and customs, who by
their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side through a long
bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence."
--John Jay, Federalist No.
2, 1787
