"The unity of government which constitutes you, one people, is also now
near to you. It is justly so, for it is a main pillar in the edifice of your
real independence, the supporter of your tranquility at home, your peace
abroad, of your safety, of your prosperity, of that very liberty which you
so highly prize. But as it is easy to foresee that from different causes
and from different quarters much pains will be taken, many artifices employed,
to weaken in your minds the conviction of this truth, as this is the point
in your political fortress against which the batteries of internal and external
enemies will be most constantly and actively (though often covertly and
insidiously) directed, it is of infinite moment that you should properly
estimate the immense value of your national union to your collective and
individual happiness..."
from George Washington's Farewell Address Sep 17, 1796
