Britain is a haughty nation drunk with power
And acts the drunken man upon a precipice.
Here is the epic story of American Independence, from the Stamp Tax riots to the Declaration, told in verse by its opponents and its champions: among them, Samuel Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and George Washington.
If we here boldly speak our grievances,
We speak as free men enjoying rights
Derived from nature, not the gift of kings.
Let those flatter who fear.-- Thomas Jefferson
