"As to the history of the revolution, my ideas may be peculiar, perhaps singular. What do we mean by the Revolution? The war?

That was no part of the revolution; it was only an effect and consequence of it.

The revolution was in the minds of the people, and this was effected from 1760–1775, in the course of fifteen years, before a drop of blood was shed at Lexington."

"Remember us."
As simple an order as a king can give.
"Remember why we died."
For he did not wish tribute, nor song, nor monuments nor poems of war and valor.
His wish was simple. "Remember us," he said to me.
That was his hope, should any free soul come across that place, in all the countless centuries yet to be.
May all our voices whisper to you from the ageless stones,
"Go tell the Spartans, passerby, that here by Spartan law, we lie."
