"But
what do we mean by the American Revolution? Do we mean the American
war? The Revolution was effected before the war commenced. The
Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their
religious sentiments, of their duties and obligations... This radical
change in the principles, opinions, sentiments, and affections of the
people was the real American Revolution." --John Adams, letter to H.
Niles, 1818
