- “God forbid we should ever be 20 years without such a rebellion. The people cannot be all, & always, well informed… what country can preserve it's liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms… The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots & tyrants. It is it's natural manure.”
Thomas Jefferson to William S. Smith on Nov. 13, 1787
