May our land be a land of liberty, the seat of virtue, the asylum of the oppressed, a name and a praise in the whole Earth, until the last shock of time shall bury the empires of the whole world in one common undistinguished ruin!


Joseph Warren, “Boston Massacre” oration, March 5, 1772. Image: detail of portrait by John Singleton Copley, c. 1765.
