The colonists were not in a state of oppression...grievances indeed were pretended...in short...the Americans knew, & most of them were willing to confess, that they were the happiest of all people...enjoying the benefit of mild & equitable laws, secured by the protection of this kingdom...how then could a people, this happily situated...hazard their fortunes, their lives & their souls in such a rebellion?..." with much more on this fascinating topic.
