"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 17601775, in the course of fifteen years, before a drop of blood was shed at Lexington. "
~John Adams
