This is the actual quote, from Washington’s first State of the Union address to Congress:
“A free people ought not only to be armed, but disciplined; to which end a uniform and well-digested plan is requisite; and their safety and interest require that they should promote such manufactories as tend to render them independent of others for essential, particularly military, supplies.”



One of those strict constitutionalists. They are troublesome to progressives.
