The object of the war [of Spanish Succession], the containment of Louis XIV and French power, had been secured as far as the Tories were concerned.  But the Dutch, the Emperor, and Marlborough wanted more.  The French must be driven from Spain.  “No peace without Spain” became the Whig cry.  But the patience of the country esquires was exhausted.  Tory opposition to the war became a political outlet for their grievances against what the Tory writers called the “modern Whigs.”  The modern Whig with his war and his new financial order was undermining the country.  Land taxes, national debt, the Bank, the moneyed corporation, stockjobbers, the Dutch-Emperor alliance, redcoats trudging through foreign lands–all were sponsored and defended by the “modern Whig.” ~Isaac Kramnick, Bolingbroke & His Circle
