Established the Fourth of July, A.D. 2010

We are an educational organization in Cedarhome, Washington, existing to teach the public about traditional Colonial and American Revolutionary society from the 16th century A.D. to the year A.D. 1826 (with primary emphasis on the years A.D. 1775-A.D. 1790).

We believe that the American Revolution was not a true revolution that turned the world upside down in the Jacobin or Marxist sense, but a conservative war waged to maintain the colonists' traditional rights as free Englishmen against an innovative parliament and king. Thus the term "American War of Independence" to describe the conflict is more apt.

Politically, we are Traditionalist Conservatives and Paleoconservatives in the mold of John Adams, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Edmund Burke, Russell Kirk and Mel Bradford. More specifically, we are Jeffersonian Conservatives, and nomocrats who believe in the rule of law rather than the rule of men.

We welcome all who are true to the Spirit of the American Revolution.

Patriotism


“Patriotism is the wholesome, constructive love of one’s land and people. Nationalism is the unhealthy love of one’s government, accompanied by the aggressive desire to put down others – which becomes in deracinated modern men a substitute for religious faith. Patriotism is an appropriate, indeed necessary, sentiment for people who wish to preserve their freedom; nationalism is not.”

-Clyde N. Wilson (1941-    )
