Give Me Liberty or Give Me Death

• No man thinks more highly than I do of the
  patriotism, as well as abilities,as the very
  worthy gentleman. Who has just a dressed the
  house. Should I keep back my opinions at such a

  consider myself as guilty of treason towards my
  country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the
  Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all
  earthly kings.

The speech of John Adams
The second day of July 1776, will be the most
memorable epoch in the history of America. I am
apt to believe that it will be celebrated by
succeeding generations as the great anniversary
festival. It ought to be solemnized with pomp
bonfires and illuminations, from one end of this
continent to the other, from this time forward
forever more- John Adams
