Question

Put theses two quotes by Washington in your own words “ your union ought to be considered as a main prop of your liberty and… the love of the one ought to endear you to the preservation of the other” and the other one “ The independence and liberty you possess are the work of joint counsels, and joint efforts, of common dangers, suffering, and successes”
