I found this "piece" that was addressed to John Jay, in 1798 from common folk, just ordinary citizens Washington County, New York. It shows the "love of Liberty" and the understanding that God expects US to defend ourselves against oppression."Peace we estimate as one of the most precious gifts of Heaven, and with heartfelt emotions of gratitude we adore the Ruler of nations for our long, uninterrupted enjoyment of it; but basely to pursue this blessing at the expense of our Liberty is undutiful, not only to ourselves, but also to that benignant Deity who decreed that man should be FREE. The moment that an individual or a nation PASSIVELY receives the insults of oppression, they sink from that elevation of character for which they were originally destined."The inhabitants of Washington County, New York, 1798Remember the Declaration of Independence, "...it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security."
