PULLING DOWN THE STATUE OF GEORGE III

"Wood shows how the revolutionary leaders sought to eliminate the monarchical aristocracy of family and patronage and, in Thomas Jefferson’s words, “make an opening for the aristocracy of virtue and talent” (182). Therefore, the Revolution can be seen as a conflict between what Wood calls “courtiers” and “patriots”: Courtiers were persons whose position or rank came artificially from above — from hereditary or personal connections that ultimately flowed from the crown or court... Patriots, on the other hand, were not only those who loved their country but were free of dependent connections and influence; their position or rank came naturally from their talent and from below, from recognition by the people."
