an american nation. colonel lee, with your permission?
those of us who call ourselves patriots are not seeking to give birth to an american nation, but to protect one that already exists. it was born a hundred-and-seventy years ago at jamestown, virginia and has grown stronger and more mature with every generation reared and with every crop sown and harvested. we are a nation and our rights as citizens of that nation are threatened by a tyrant three thousand miles away.
sir?
this from the same captain francis marion whose anger was so famous during the wilderness campaign.
temperance can be a convenient disguise for fear.
i stand corrected.
mister speaker, i call for a vote on a levy to the continental army.
yea.
