My Great Objection To This

If You Have Given Up Your Militia, And Congress Shall Refuse To Arm Them, You Have Lost Every Thing. Your Existence Will Be Precarious, Because You Depend On Others, Whose Interests Are Not Affected By Your Infelicity.

The Liberties Of A People Never Were, Nor Ever Will Be, Secure, When The Transactions Of Their Rulers May Be Concealed From Them.

There Is A Book Worth All Other Books Which Were Ever Printed.

If We Wish To Be Free; If We Mean To Preserve Inviolate Those Inestimable Privileges For Which We Have Been So Long Contending; If We Mean Not Basely To Abandon The Noble Struggle In Which We Have Been So Long Engaged, And Which We Have Pledged Ourselves Never To Abandon Until The Glorious Object Of Our Contest Shall Be Obtained - We Must Fight! I Repeat It, Sir, We Must Fight! An Appeal To Arms, And To The God Of Hosts, Is All That Is Left Us.

I Believe A Time Will Come When An Opportunity Will Be Offered To Abolish This Lamentable Evil. Everything We Do Is To Improve It, If It Happens In Our Day; If Not, Let Us Transmit To Our Descendants, Together With Our Slaves, A Pity For Their Unhappy Lot And An Abhorrence Of Slavery.
