If you give way, you will
instantly have to meet some greater demand, as having been
frightened into obedience in the first instance; while a firm
refusal will make them clearly understand that they must treat
you more as equals. Make your decision therefore at once, either
to submit before you are harmed, or if we are to go to war, as I
for one think we ought, to do so without caring whether the
ostensible cause be great or small, resolved against making
concessions or consenting to a precarious tenure of our
possessions. For all claims from an equal, urged upon a neighbour
as commands before any attempt at legal settlement, be they great
or be they small, have only one meaning, and that is slavery.
