In a diary entry, John Adams reflects on the importance of business in America. We often forget that our import/export trade and the ability to do business freely is what helped build the country.
“We have nothing to fear but Disunion among ourselves. What will disunite us, more than the Decay of all Business. The People will feel, and will say that Congress tax them and oppress them worse than Parliament.”
