Today - October 16th, marks the 263rd anniversary of the birthday of the ‘Father of American Scholarship and Education,’ Noah Wester.
“Before a standing army can rule, the people must be disarmed; as they are in almost every kingdom of Europe. The supreme power in America cannot enforce unjust laws by the sword; because the whole body of the people are armed, and constitute a force superior to any bands of regular troops that can be, on any pretense, raised in the United States.”
- Noah Webster
