"We have therefore to resolve to conquer or die: Our won Country's Honor, all call upon us for vigorous and manly exertion, and if we now shamefully fail, we shall become infamous to the whole world. Let us therefore rely upon the goodness of the Cause, and the aid of the Supreme Being, in whose hands Victory is, to animate and encourage us to great and noble Actions. " --George Washington (General Orders, 2 July 1776), Reference: George Washington: A Collection, W.B. Allen, ed. (71)

"I consider the war of America against Britain as the country's war, the public's war, or the war of the people in their own behalf, for the security of their natural rights, and the protection of their own property." --Thomas Paine (On Financing the War, 1782), Reference: Paine Writings, Foner, ed., 297.
