Description

Excerpt from The Twelve Stars of Our Republic: Our Nation's Gift-Book to Her Young Citizens These evils far-seeing statesmen of America clearly perceived, and warned the people to awake to the same perceptions. The warning was heeded. They winced under the lash of commercialrestrictions, and they rebelled, as far as loyalty to their sovereign would permit, when the stamp - act cast off the disguise of ministers and revealed the despot ism that stood ready with its fetters to bind the free Britons of America. Henceforward contentions arose. The British parliament assumed the right to tax the colonies of Great Britain, without their consent. The colonies raised the standard inscribed, taxation and representa tion one and inseparable. Ten long years they humbly petitioned and remonstrated. They loved the parent-country, revered her institutions and laws, and were proud of their connexion with such an empire. But their loyal prayers were answered by other and greater Oppressions. Insults succeeded Oppressions, threats succeeded insults, and armies came hither to execute those threats. The colonies confederated, and by representatives, consulted and acted for the general good. They still clung to the hope of reconciliation; but at length that radiant star waned in the firmament, Clouds gathered in the political heavens, and the alternative was presented of Iesistance and freedom, or submission and slavery. The choice was soon made, and the weapons were speedily prepared to sever the last tie that bound America to Britain the ligament of political imion.
