To borrow the sentiment from a phrase espoused by Patrick Henry during the American Revolution, “The
war is actually begun! The next gale that sweeps from the north will
bring to our ears the clash of resounding arms! Our brethren are already
in the field! Why stand we here idle? What is it that gentlemen wish?
What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be
purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I
know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty or
give me death!”
