Address to a British minister on liberty and war
A vehement, dated tirade attacks a British minister over America and slavery, arguing mismanagement, debt, and possible surrender. It mocks royal authority, calls for decisive action, and laments Scotland and Hanoverian influence amid calls for revolt and liberty. The letter references 1777 campaigns, taxation, and Hessian allies, with critiques of leadership and policy.
