Read the excerpt from Thomas Paine's work "The Crisis" Britain, with an army to enforce her tyranny, has 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
.. Neither have I so much of the infidel in me, as to suppose that He has relinquished the government of the
world, and given us up to the care of devils; and as I do not, I cannot see on what grounds the king of Britain
can look up to heaven for help against us: a common murderer, a highwayman, or a house-breaker, has as
good a pretence as he.
