GENERAL WASHINGTON’S DIRECTIVE
General Washington had this notice posted for his men in 1776: “The General is sorry to be informed that the foolish, wicked practice of profane cursing and swearing, a vice heretofore little-known in the American army, is growing in fashion. He hopes the officers will, by example as well as by influence, endeavor to check it. We can have little hope of the blessing of Heaven on our arms if we insult it by our impiety and folly. Added to this, it is a vice so mean and low, without any temptation, that every man of sense and character detests and despises it.”
