To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Lord Mahon could only see and feel and sympathize with the oppressor. His utmost admission to "the opposite cause" was, that their petitions were " slighted. " Their petitions were rejected thrown aside with rudeness and contempt. [ 32 ] Wrongs were multiplied and aggravated. The kindest word from the King was a threat, the mildest argu ment the sword. Fleets and armies, including his foreign mercenaries, were his ministers of peace. The only terms of conciliation offered were unconditional sub...mission, or the torch, the bayonet, and the cord. The Colonies preferred war, with all its consequences, unprepared for it as they were, to such a submission. Declared to be out of its protection by the Crown, and war made upon them by sea and by land, they were driven to the last resort a resort not of their own seeking, but forced upon them : they were compelled by the King and Parliament of Great Britain, in self- defence and for self-preservation, to declare themselves independent of the English Crown.
