Address from Staffordshire freeholders on American colonies
The Sheriffs of Staffordshire summon a county meeting of freeholders to address the King regarding the American colonies. The appeal warns against continuing the war, warns of trade loss and Protestant rights, and urges safeguarding liberty. It cites 1688 as a precedent and condemns prowar, pro Popery plots. It mentions a nobleman promoting an address to prosecute the war and urges resistance to tyranny.
