“he has waged cruel war against human nature itself, violating it’s most sacred rights of life & liberty in the persons of a distant people who never offended him, captivating & carrying them into slavery in another hemisphere, or to incur miserable death in their transportation thither. this piratical warfare, the opprobrium of infidel powers, is the warfare of the CHRISTIAN king of Great Britain. determined to keep open a market where MEN should be bought & sold, he has prostituted his negative for suppressing every legislative attempt to prohibit or to restrain this execrable commerce...”

I’ve ALWAYS been proud to be an American. I’m trying to determine my earliest ancestors here and so far it is Ensign Thomas Washer who represented Lawne’s Plantation as burgess in the first assembly of the Virginia House of Burgesses in 1619 so my family has been here almost since the beginning. Many patriots in my family of whom I am very amazed of that made my life possible. Thank you Father God and thank you to my ancestors that helped make this country so wonderful.
