116 TEE STORY OF WASHINGTON Then, as now, the prosperous did not want their prosperity disturbed by any change. They didn't want to lose their business, not to speak of their lives, by going into an army. But there had been a genera- tion of people pouring into the colonies from the poverty-devastations of English misgovernment in Scotland and Ireland. They had never had any chance to protest against their wrongs in the old country, but fortune, or fate, or Providence, had ban- ished them acros...s the ocean directly into an oppor- tunity to express their sentiments with guns, and they took the opportunity. They flocked to the re- cruiting stations of Washington's army. But so unsafe were business transactions with the party fighting Great Britain that the revolution was coming to the gates of despair because of the impos- sibility of getting military supplies and army equip- ments. There was fast growing a vision of collapse unless there was received the encouraging help of a foreign power.
