Loyalists tended to feel that resistance to the Crown was morally wrong while the Patriots thought that morality was on their side. Loyalists were alienated when the Patriots resorted to violence such as burning houses and tarring and feathering Loyalists wanted to take a centrist position and resisted the Patriots' demand to declare their opposition to the Crown Many Loyalists had maintained strong and long-standing relations with Britain especially merchants in port cities such as New York and Boston. Many Loyalists felt that independence was bound to come eventually but they were fearful that revolution might lead to anarchy tyranny or mob rule in contrast the prevailing attitude among Patriots was a desire to seize the initiative. Labaree also wrote that Loyalists were pessimists who lacked the confidence in the future displayed by the Patriots. The Potomac River (/p?'to?m?k/ (About this soundlisten)) is found within the Mid-Atlantic region of the United States and flows from the Potomac Highlands into the Chesapeake Bay the river (main stem and North Branch) is approximately 405 miles (652 km) long, with a drainage area of about 14,700 square miles (38,000 km2) in terms of area this makes the Potomac River the fourth largest river along the Atlantic coast of the United States and the 21st largest in the United States Over 5 million people live within the Potomac watershed. In 1788 Washington declined a suggestion from a leading French abolitionist Jacques Brissot to establish an abolitionist society in Virginia stating that although he supported the idea the time was not yet right to confront the issue the historian Henry Wiencek (2003) believes based on a remark that appears in the notebook of his biographer David Humphreys that Washington considered making a public statement by freeing his slaves on the eve of his presidency in 1789 the historian Philip D Morgan (2005) disagrees believing the remark was a "private expression of remorse" at his inability to free his slaves. Other historians agree with Morgan that Washington was determined not to risk national unity over an issue as divisive as slavery. Washington never responded to any of the antislavery petitions he received and the subject was not mentioned in either his last address to Congress or his Farewell Address.
