"With equal pleasure I have a often taken notice, that Providence has been pleased to give this one connected country to one united people - a people descended from the same ancestors, speaking the same language, professing the same religion, attached to the same principle of government, very similar in their manners and customs, and who, by their joint counsels, arms, and efforts, fighting side by side throughout a long and bloody war, have nobly established general liberty and independence." PUBLIUS
And so to this new republic came the world, attracted by her properity, her promise, and her liberty. And they soon came to understand that freedom is not sustained without sacrifice. That it is more important than the safety of her citizens. The government is pulled by factions bent on the destruction of freedom, well intentioned though some regulations and restrictions might be. And so our freedom has dwindled in proportion to our fears. And so too has our resolve to unity.
