Written By Friday, 24 June 2022 Add Comment Edit

They're everywhere now.

On the pages of social media, displayed on bumper stickers, and in the speeches of political candidates, partisan factions claim a Founding Begetter by virtue of one of their Founding Audio Bites. But how many of those words were actually said, equally written, by the person claimed? Very few, if whatsoever, ane suspects – and ordinarily you would exist right to be very suspicious.

Merely hither are xl-v existent quotes by the unquestioned man-in-marble of his time – George Washington. This collection of quotes, mostly culled from the National Archives, literally tell the story of the Revolutionary War through the eyes and words of the unshakable commander in chief. Washington was the "indispensable" man who stayed true to "the Crusade," and to a republican form of regime with civilian leadership.

Now, most ii hundred and forty-v years afterwards, we however owe a debt of gratitude to that visionary who fought for American independence through viii long years of war. Here are some of his words during that long conflict. (The original punctuation, gimmicky spelling, and abbreviations are kept in their truthful, unique form).
