The Federalist Papers

THE FEDERALIST PAPERS edited by Clinton Rossiter

Not a single Indian War has yet been produced by aggressions of the present federal government, feeble as it is; but there are several instances of Indian hostilities having been provoked by the improper conduct of individual states, who, either unable or unwilling to restrain or punish offenses, have given occasion to the slaughter of many innocent inhabitants.
-John Jay, Supreme Court Justice
