"The liberties of the colonies are daringly infringed, and despotism is exerting her baneful influence in the minds of those who wish not well to the just privileges of America.

Now the storm is beginning, and more especially as there are so many united colonies to protect her at so critical a juncture."

--Paraphrased from the Virginia Gazette, Clementina Rind, May 19, 1774, 2
