What did Washington mean when he told the officers give the world another subject of wonder an army victorious over its enemies-victorious over itself?
He did not want the Continental Army to overthrow the government out of spite for delaying their pensions that were promised beacuse that could throw the entire government out of balance. He did not want the army to be the cuase of their own demise, bringing America into political choas and destroying everything the Americans had just faught for- Representative Government. By overtaking the government it would defeat the entire purpose of the Revolutionary War they that had just faught so courageously and persistently in. If the government became dysfunctional enough, it could eventually fall into tyranny, everything the Americans had faught to get away from!!! -Donna (:
