James Madison actually said...

"Even the fleets and troops infesting our coasts and waters are by like supplies accommodated and encouraged in their predatory and incursive warfare."

"To shorten as much as possible the duration of the war it is indispensable that the enemy should feel all the pressure that can be given to it."

"To remedy as much as possible these evils, I recommend: That an effectual embargo on exports be immediately enacted."

"With all good citizens the justice and necessity of resisting wrongs and usurpations no longer to be borne will sufficiently outweigh the privations and sacrifices inseparable from a state of war."
