American hero: Washington inspects the troops of the United States' first standing army before they set off on their first mission... to suppress the American people who had just 'won their freedom' from the British.

Unfortunately, I'll need to make one more digression to talk about Thomas Jefferson and the Alien and Sedition Acts passed by the 5th United States Congress in 1798. At that time, Jefferson and James Madison, as a response to the ASA, created what is called the 'Kentucky and Virginia Resolutions', also known as the 'Principles of 98'. Now, the ASA comprised 4 laws: 1) it extended the required residency time before being considered a citizen from 5 to 14 years, 2) it authorized the president to detain, imprison and deport any person he deemed a "danger" to the United States, 3) allowed the government to detain and imprison any citizen of a foreign nation we were at war with, and 4) restricted speech criticizing the government (The Sedition Act). The text of which is here summarized and abbreviated: From Thomas Jefferson

"That if any person shall unlawfully combine or conspire together, with intent to oppose any measure or measures of the government, which are or shall be directed by proper authority, or to impede the operation of any law of the United States, or to intimidate or prevent any person holding a place or office in or under the government, from undertaking, performing or executing his trust or duty; and if any person or persons, with intent as aforesaid, shall counsel, advises or attempt to procure any insurrection, riot, unlawful assembly, or combination, whether such conspiracy, threatening, counsel, advice or attempt shall have the proposed effect or not, he or they shall be deemed guilty of a high misdemeanor, and on conviction, before any court of the United States having jurisdiction thereof, shall be punished by a fine not exceeding five thousand dollars, and by imprisonment during a term not less than six months nor exceeding five years."

Whatever happened to the 1st Amendment? Again, I couldn't in my wildest dreams make this stuff up. These guys were shameless.
