by Griffis, William Elliot, 1843-1928
Neither our flag nor our history can be explained from European feudalism, landed nobles, empires, thrones, kingdoms, or State Churches, for we have none of these in our republic. The United States of the Netherlands (1579-1795) give the chief explanation for the flag and the form of government of the United States of America. Our second president, one of our most learned Americans, John Adams, wrote: “The originals of the two republics (Dutch and American) are so much alike that a page from one seems a transcript from the other.”
