knowing, then, that all these acts of violence

The North began the revolutionary war.
They did it through the ambition of their
great men, who wished wider field for the
display Of their abilities than was afforded by

thousand miles OIL, and through the hatred
which the Yankees always have entertained,
and will always entertain, towards Great
Britain. The Stamp Act and the duty on tea,
and the principle they involved, were nothiaR
to the sankees. They hatedsana envied the

were all passed in defence of the country'i
