We the Peoples 3rd POTUS Thomas Jefferson professed in print in Oct, 1787 to former POTUS John Adams (2nd US Pres) son in law; William Stephens Smith
Here's what he wrote verbatim
"What country before ever existed a century and half without a rebellion? And what country can preserve it’s liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. It is it’s natural manure."
