From the Paper:

"The formation of this government allowed America to grow into a very wealthy and vastly powerful nation, with many possibilities remaining for its future. America is still growing, of course, but the changes that take place in the country today are not as drastic, nor are they as rapid, as they were back in the days when George Washington was a general, leading armies to battle and to victory. Had it not been for the Revolution, and the bravery of the men who fought in it, America would not have come as far as quickly, and history would be very differen."
