I
have little superstition in me as any man living, but my secret opinion has
ever been, and still is, that God Almighty will not give up a people to
military destruction, or leave them unsupportedly to perish, who had so
earnestly and so repeatedly sought to avoid the calamities of war, by every
decent method which wisdom could invent.
—Thomas
Paine, Common Sense, Number I, December 23, 1776
