Unbridled Liberty

October 14, 2014, 09:50:24 PM
I just stumbled upon this reprint of an article: The Redcoat's Brown Bess (American Rifleman Magazine, April 2001)  http://www.11thpa.org/Bess.html

UL
For Liberty, each Freeman Strives
As its a Gift of God
And for it willing yield their Lives
And Seal it with their Blood

Thrice happy they who thus resign
Into the peacefull Grave
Much better there, in Death Confin'd
Than a Surviving Slave

This Motto may adorn their Tombs,
(Let tyrants come and view)
"We rather seek these silent Rooms
Than live as Slaves to You"

Lemuel Haynes, 1775
