Let us convince our enemies that, as we are entered into the present contest for the defense of our liberties, so we are resolved, with the firmest reliance on heaven for the justice of our cause, never to relinquish it, but rather to perish in the ruins of it. If we do remain firm…and are determined, at all hazards, that we will be free – I am persuaded under the gracious smiles of Providence, assisted by our own most strenuous endeavors, we shall finally succeed…and thereby establish the independence, the happiness, and the glory of the United States of America."
