The war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already in that field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me give me liberty or give me death!"// - Patrick Henry Taxes sugar act stamp act Townsend acts

IS IT NECESSARY TO FIGHT THE RED COATS? MEN! DO YOU WANT THESE REDCOATS TO FOLLOW YOU IN YOUR FOOTSTEPS FOR THE REST OF YOUR LIVES!! THEN STAND YOU GROUND AND FIGHT MEN, FIGHT! Can you stand anther day of Britain taxing us! First the British hit us with the Sugar Act which takes three cents out of our pockets every time we by sugar or wine just so we can pay Britain's dept. . Then we get the stamp act which for every paper we have to pay 1 cent. And then the worst of all the Townsend Acts which taxed us on many things epically tea! Were not getting anything from the taxes that were paying King George is getting all the luxury. Remember the Boston Masseur 5 men died. they were just throwing snowballs at the redcoats and they opened fire for no good reason. We have a good reason. Men do you really want a country 3,000 miles away ruling our colonies! Why are you here if you are going to leave. You hear the drums so why are you still here with your guns on your shoulders. If we die here you'll die knowing that you died for your country. LET US BE FREE OF THE BRITISH!
