On April 19, 1783, Washington ordered his troups to go home. No one favored a peacetime army. Yet, the years that followed saw the young nation embark on a dramatic surge of expansion that now demanded the military as national protectors. Sword of the Republic is the story of the army in its new multi-faceted role as agents of the republic during the period of 1783-1846.
