A group of two hundred men “defied their officers and started out for the state capital at Trenton.” But this time, “Washington was ready,” he’d prepared six hundred, “well fed and clothed,” men. The ringleaders were trialed, two shot dead by their own friends, and another pardoned. For Washington, “it was an example.” (72) This antipatriotic way of viewing the United States is necessary as historians have to understand all angles of a problem, and should have no bias in…
