Before the American revolution, there was a fort in one of the colonies. It was built by a peaceful man who was against needless killing. He wanted to defend his family and settlement dwellers against Indian raids. It was placed on a spring and had visibility all around. The menfolk trained to fight, and acquired plenty of ammo. They built reinforcements inside the walls. And they stocked hardtack, dried fruit and meats.

The fort was never attacked. Although it was far from impregnable, the cost to overwhelm it was just high enough that the indians knew better.

Later, it was used in the Revolutionary war to protect patriots.
