Saving the liberties of Americans

If the liberties of Americans are ever compleatly [sic] ruined, of which in my opinion there is now the utmost danger, it will in all probability be the consequence of a mistaken notion of prudence, which leads men to acquiesce in measures of the most destructive tendency for the sake of present ease.

-- Samuel Adams
Essay in the BOSTON GAZETTE
