". . . [The Founding Fathers] found that by creating a nation, a symbol, a legal unity called the United States, they could take over land, profits, and political power from favorites of the British Empire. In the process, they could hold back a number of potential rebellions and create a consensus of popular support for the rule of a new, privileged leadership.
. . . They created the most effective system of national control devised in modern times, and showed future generations of leaders the advantages of combining paternalism with command."
- Howard Zinn
