of Climate, Soil, great navigable Rivers and Lakes must become a great
Country, populous and mighty; and will in a less time than is generally
conceivd be able to shake off any Shackles that may be imposd on her, and
perhapc place them on the Imposers.
For the Seeds of Liberty are universally sown there, and nothing can eradicate them.
Benjamin Franklin
