According to my mann Jefferson, the colonies were a bit cray cray..! (Chaotic)

"What country before, ever existed a century and a half without a rebellion ? And what country can preserve its liberties, if its rulers are not warned from time to time, that this people preserve the spirit of resistance ? Let them take arms. "

Jefferson was a believer that the colonies had been slightly chaotic in the days leading up to the Revolution, but he was a firm believer that this was all in all a healthy thing.
