"What country before ever existed a century & a half without a
rebellion? & 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 remedy is to set them right as to
facts, pardon & pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century
or two? 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 1787

quality that morons esteem in their heroes.""
