| The United States of America! It was in the Declaration of Independence that this name was first and formally proclaimed to the world, and to maintain its verity the war of the Revolution was fought. Americans like to think that they were then assuming among the Powers of the Earth the equal and independent Station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them; and, in view of their subsequent marvelous development, they are inclined to add that it must have been before an expectant world. |

| Though the word revolution implies a violent break with the past, there was nothing in the Revolution that transformed the essential character or the characteristics of the American people. The Revolution severed the ties which bound the colonies to Great Britain; it created some new activities; some soldiers were diverted from their former trades and occupation. |
