Revolution was effected
before the war commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and
hearts of the people . . . . This radical change in the principles,
opinions, sentiments, and affections of the people was the real
American Revolution. ~~~~~ John
Adams in 1818 ~~~~~
The Temper and character
which preail in our colonies are, I am afraid, unalterable by
any human art . . . An Englishman is the unfittest person on
earth to argue another Englishman into slavery. ~~~~~ Edmund
Burk - March 22, 1775 ~~~~~
I cannot but lament
. . . the impending Calamities Britain and her Colonies are about
to suffer, from great Imprudencies on both Sides -- Passion governs,
and she never governs wisely -- Anxiety begins to disturb my
Rest . . . ~~~~~
Benjamin Franklin - February 5, 1775 ~~~~~
