This Day in History: George Washington vs. pacifist Quakers

What this story tells me is that Washington was a very even-keeled leader. We were lucky to have him.

I have always admired people like the Amish which don't take the easy road and stand their ground on principle

Washington was a very impressive leader. We need a Washington now. Large number of the British colonies favored Britain. To knit a new nation together was not an easy task. But then again neither was defeating the British.
