John Adams, in a letter to William Cushing explains that, “Objects of the most stupendous magnitude, and measure in which the lives and liberties of millions yet unborn are intimately interested, are now before us. We are in the very midst of a revolution the most complete, unexpected and remarkable of any in the history of nations” (Adams 1776).

Without making a stand, these colonies will be filled with anarchy, our children will not last, and these colonies will be nothing in a few decades
