"Washington's General Order given at Cambridge, July 4 1775

They are now the troops of The United Provinces of North America; and it is hoped that all distinctions of colonies will be laid aside; so that one and the same spirit may animate the whole and the only contest be who shall render on this great and trying occasion the most essential service to the great and common cause in which we are all engaged."
