Abigail Adams, concerned about the private behavior of a few of Colonies' Patriots, wrote to her friend, Mercy Warren:
"A patriot without religion, in my estimation, is as great a paradox as an honest man without the fear of God. Is it possible that he whom no moral obligations bind, can have any real Good Will towards Men? Can he be a patriot who, by an openly vicious, conduct, is undermining the very bonds of Society?....The Scriptures tell us righteousness exalteth a Nation."
