Words Of Wisdom
"[W]hen the resolution of enslaving America was
formed in Great Britain, the British Parliament was advised by an artful man, -
who was governor of Pennsylvania, to disarm the people; that it was the best
and most effectual way to enslave them; but that they should not do it openly,
but weaken them, and let them sink gradually, by totally disusing and
neglecting the militia."
