"Our resistance was not made to actual oppression. Americans were not pressed down to the earth by the weight of their chains nor goaded to resistance by actual suffering…. The war was a war of principle against a system hostile to political liberty, from which oppression was to be dreaded, not against actual oppression."
Letter from Chief Justice John Marshall to Edward Everett, August 2, 1826
