"save the Union " the bayonet. William
PITT and Edm Bu-ke botA saw ard believed
that the cause ofthe Cohoniss was .be cause
CT Constitutional liberty in Eng'aal, and
that, If the Americans were sub Tat,sd,
EBglishmen would never recover Their lie-
critics save by bloody revolution. And that
Is the opinion Of all the modern British
historians
The subjugation of America would SD
enormously have strengthened the Crown
that the Hanoycrian system Of government
would hayebeen introduced, as George al
ways desired 20 do. HaiAeas corpus aud trial
By jury would have been obIiterated as they
had been in America The House fCom.
mons would have been paralized and gov
ernmen' would have become the personal
appanage of the King and his ccterie.
The rights OF the peJple, the common rights
OF Englishmen would have only been Sc
cured by bloody struggle. They were
saved that by the success ofthe Americans.
So believe, and i believe that history will
so recoftl that the struggle OF the Con
Iede: ate States 10 establish a government
OF the people bv their cwn )Lsent was the
effort ~ perpe 1ate popular government
