"The Crisis, Number 1" | Return to Timeline

"Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny,
had declared that she has a right (not only to TAX)
but to 'BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER,'
and if being bound in that manner is not slavery, then
is there not such a thing as slavery upon earth"

"I turn with the warm ardor of a friend to those who have nobly stood,
and are yet determined to stand the matter out: I call not upon a few,
but upon all; not on this state or that state, but on every state;
up and help us;"

"It matters not where you live, or what
rank of life you hold, the evil or the
blessing will reach you all. The far and
the near, the home counties and the back,
the rich and the poor, will suffer or
rejoice alike"
