As the sufferings of our mercantile and seafaring citizens can not be ascribed to the omission of duties demandable, considering the neutral situation of our country, they are to be attributed to the hope of impu- nity arising from a supposed inability on our part to afford protection. To resist the consequences of such impressions on the minds of foreign nations and to guard against the degradation and servility which they must finally stamp on the American character is an important duty of Go...vernment. John Adams 227 A naval power, next to the militia, is the natural defense of the United States. The experience of the last war would be sufficient to shew that a moderate naval force, such as would be easily within the present f bili- ties of the Union, would have been sufficient to have baffled many for- midable transportations of troops from one State to another, which were then practiced. Our seacoasts; from their great extent, are more easily annoyed and more easily defended by a naval force than any other.
