Colonies to Nation, 1763-1789: A Documentary History of the American Revolution

In our own native land, in defence of the freedom that is our birth-right, and which we ever enjoyed till the late violation of it--for the protection of our property, acquired solely by the honest industry of our fore-fathers and ourselves, against violence actually offered, we have taken up arms. We shall lay them down when hostilities shall cease on the part of the aggressors, and all danger of their being renewed shall be removed, and not before. --From A Warning to the King: Thomas Jefferson, "A Summary View of the Rights of British-America" (August, 1774)
