"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."
