6700. POLICY (American), Freedom of the ocean.—
That the persons of our citizens
shall be safe in freely traversing the ocean,
that the transportation of our own produce,
in our own vessels, to the markets of our
choice, and the return to us of the articles we
want for our own use, shall be unmolested,
I hold to be fundamental, and the gauntlet
that must be forever hurled at him who
questions it.—
To John Adams. Washington ed. vi, 459.

June. 1815)
