It is in vain, sir, to extenuate the matter. gentlemen may cry, peace, peace - but
there is no peace. the war is actually begun. the next gale that sweeps from the

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!
