The American Revolution did not end in 1783

The American Revolution did not end in 1783 with the Treaty of Paris. Through the Revolutionary War, the fight leading to the adoption of the U.S. Constitution, and then the creation of the Republic during the Washington Presidency, this was one continuing Revolution. In every phase, for 21 years, it was George Washington who led and steered this revolution.

The vision, the intention, the fight, was not simply Independence - separation from Britain - but the creation of a Republic dedicated to upward human progress. Washington's battles with Jefferson and Madison were not "policy differences" but a fundamental disagreement as to the nature of the Republic itself.
