Liberty or death amid colonial crisis in Boston letter
A feisty colonial appeal from American settlers to Britain declares their right to liberty, denounces British troops in Boston, and argues for redress through Parliament. It asserts they will endure oppression rather than submit, recounting grievances over trade, laws, and governance, and calls for reconciliation or decisive resistance. The piece ends with a pledge to defend liberty and a signature from Charles Thompson, Philadelphia, May 83.
