To repent in action for our defense and thus our purposes of life, gain, and reason, we, the peoples of British-America, must so willingly accept the wishes of our monarch, honorable King George III, and our Parliament, in the terms of tribute to vile gallons of French molasses. Peradventure, as merchants, we will suffer under the influence of decreased smuggling, and thus a reduced income of momentary gains which so thusly accompany such acts, be it instead we thus support both our fellow colonists and subjects in rejection of productions borne by the vile French.
We must cease with the importation of these improper objects made by such dissenters of public good and wealth. We, represented on all grounds of jurisdiction in the realm of Parliament, must accept the burden of lesser treasures and hefty severity of justice on those who dare to traffic such heathensome substances.
Doff thyne beliefs of greater wealth to accept the security that the great empire Britain has so graciously granted us.
As I Am
- Thomas Gray
- Now, in these loatheful times of disgruntlement betwixt myne fellows, I still stand beside the most feared Empire of England. As a merchant, I receive her luxury goods and gains of genteel wealth, and in return I procure the gains of my compatriots and return them to our mother. I was raised amongst the affluent, and oft looked on with scorn; but, I give unto my brother and sisters - my fellows of England - the wishes of harmony and prosperity unto us all.

How dare you say such things? We do NOT need to accept the wishes of our monarch. They are asking too much of us. We should get what we deserve. Why should we pay a portion of our income to the British Government? We get our income by working hard and if we will give it all away to the British, what will we have to ourselves?
