One was a Virginian, The other a New Englander. From Words they came to blows. A big man, running up, caught both the wlers, one with each hand, brought their heads together with a re sounding bang that knocked all thoughts fighting out of them, and pro ceeded in a few angry, forceful words to explain the need of combining against their common foe, England, instead of squabblirg with each other. The big man was George Washingt This was but one of a hundred vrompt, unusual actions whereby he succeeded in hammering that loose Jointed colonial mob into a compact army. From the average school history we are apt to get a very false view of the Revolution. We think of the entire body of colonies as glowing with holy patriotism, marching barefoot against the British through deep snow, or risking life and fortune for the cause. A nation composed wholly of ood men clamoring and fighting lib And Washington, ed in buff and blue, powdered of hair and stonily calm of face, riding 4 white horse to victory. It ‘etty picture, but it is not the truth. As a matter of fact, a large party ia Ametica did not want the Revolu- {ion at all, Almost no one (not even Washington himself) at first desired independence. At most the patriots hoped by going to war to make Eng- tand’s colonial rule less oppressive. But numbers of Americans were op- ® posed to this. y were loyal to sland, looked 4 on the revolutionists traitors and threw every ible obstacle in ir way. Again, thousands of so-called patriots enlisted through impulse or through desire for fun or adventure.
