Washington wrote that our real independence came from the "unity of government." Why does he see this as so important and how can it be protected?

He believed that unity allowed everyone to pursue the same governmental objective.

Explanation:

He believes that the unity of the government allows everyone to work towards a single goal. In this way, all government interests are served equally by encouraging progress. However, when there is no unity in the government, there are factions with different objectives, each faction runs after its own wishes and does not allow progress, because the government does not work for the same things. For this reason, it is important to cherish unity, protect it, allowing the country to move forward.
