ing of the World War in 1918 was there such national exultation as in 1315 at the close of the second war with England. The Revolution gave the United States the status of an in- dependent nation, but real indepen dence from the European system was not achieved until after a generation of struggle ending with the War of 1812. The second war for indepen- dence won for the United States the objective of the patriots of 1776- the right to pursue unmolested a national existence. It produced no outstanding military hero compara- ble to Washington in the Revolution; and the joyous nation in 1815 re- kindled its devotion for George Wash ington, hero of the first war for in- dependence and father of his now in- uependent country.
