Founding
Fathers:
T he liberties of our country, the freedom of our
civil constitution, are worth defending at all hazards; and it is our
duty to defend them against all attacks: We have received them as a fair
inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with
toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood, and transmitted them
to us with care and diligence. It will bring an everlasting mark of
infamy on the present generation, enlightened as it is, if we should
suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or be
cheated out of them by the artifices of false and designing men. Of the
latter we are in most danger at present; let us therefore be aware of
it. Let us contemplate our forefathers and posterity; and resolve to
maintain the rights bequeathed to us from the former, for the sake of
the latter, instead of sitting down satisfied with the efforts we have
already made, which is the wish of our enemies, the necessity of the
times, more than ever, calls for our utmost circumspection,
deliberation, fortitude, and perseverance.
Samuel Adams (1722
– 1803)
