Fake quote, but here’s a good enough real substitute from his first state of the union:
>A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend **to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies.**

Everytike I think about what they were up against and what they went to war over I feel shame. They couldn't in their wildest fucking dreams have imagined future generations giving up such freedom and power while paying insanely high taxes to anyone without a fight. They would have been stacking bodies by 1913 at the latest.
