Where all your rights become only
an accumulated wrong; where men
must beg with bated breath for leave to
subsist in their own land, to think
their own thoughts, to sing their own
songs, to garner the fruits of their own
labors... then surely it is braver, a
saner and truer thing, to be a rebel in
act and deed against such circumstances
as these than tamely accept it
as the natural lot of men.
