corn and cotton and all food products to

Georgia and the United States will never
be invaded by Spaniards, and the rattle of
musketry and the boom OF cannon will

business plans and projects through the
uncertainty as to how long the war will

government of the United States. In the
end our arms will triumph and peace will
come again.
