The Twelve United Colonies, By Their Delegates In Congress, To The Inhabitants Of Great Britain, “yet men trained up to arms from their infancy, and animated by the love of liberty, will not afford a cheap or easy conquest; of this at least we are assured, that our struggle will be glorious, our success certain, since even in death we shall find that freedom which in life you forbid us to enjoy.”, July 3, 1775
