" THE American people of today, weighed in the balances of the greatest arxned conflict of all time and found not wanting, can afford to survey, in a spirit of candid scrutiny and without reviving an ancient grudge, that turbulent episode in the welding of their nation which is called the War of 1812. In spite of defeats and disappointm(~nts this war was, in the large, enduring sense, a victory. It was in this renewed defiance of England tha.t the dream of the founders of the H.epuhlic and the ideals of the embattled farmers of Bunker lIiU and Saratoga achieved their goal. IIenceforth the world was to respect these States, not as so nlany colonies bitterly wrangling among thclllsel yes, but as a sovereign and independent nation. 1
