The colonies however were not then ripe for independence, nor had they such an object even in contemplation. Franklin himself was of opinion ^^, that they were unable to resist the... mother-country ; and the history of the war, in which this dissension terminated, must satisfy every reader, that the independence of the American states, as it was at that time accomplished, was much more the work of one extraordinary individual, than the result of the resources and vigour of the colo- nial confederacy. France withheld its assistance, until the strength of America, guided by the wisdom and perseverance of Washington, had been proved on the plain of Saratoga. When indeed the capture of Bur- goyne and his army had given the first omen of success, the French government afforded aid, which for a time gave to the American cause a maritime superiority; and the capture of lord Cornwallis completed what had been begun by the former advantage, in baffling the military efforts of Great Britain.
