Mr. Patrick Henry and followers: I speak to you by this form of speech, because as you can see your very persuasive and inspiriting speech came all the way to Britain, and I would like you to know that you are not the only one that can speak on this issue we are having right now. I am a loyalist; I love my country, Britain. If it wouldn’t be for us the British, United States would have not been discovered, maybe later, but not now, I find your words interesting because they are useless and nonsense words. I would like you to know that I highly oppose your ideas because we have the right to tax you, and to rule you. We do not want the colonists to be slaves, we want them to respect us and respect the taxes, we would like them to accept our government as theirs, and we would like them to proudly say that the British are with them and that they are part of the British. We would love to give you your freedom, but we would hate to give you death, but believe me, if you want death, and you keep bragging around for that independence and that “freedom” you want, because we already gave it to you, we will give you death. Mr. Henry, we know that you say that all man should see hope, we may give you hope, but not the way you are addressing it to us. We are sending our troops and forces to your homeland because we know that the Americans are very desperate for that freedom you are calling for, and we as a civilized and very advances country we are taking precautions for any attempt to try and get freedom and justice. Because the only thing you would get out of that attempt is war and darkness, and we, supporting your country’s safety and peace we are taking precautions, I repeat, for that not to happen. So, Mr. Patrick Henry, we the British beg for you not to inspire more citizens of the colonies to make nonsense actions and to make a horrible mistake. Because we have already took action and precautions. We ask you kindly not to blame us for your resentful feelings that the Americans have, because of your independence. We are sorry, but we cant surrender such a land only for that people are happy, we can make the colonists happy under our reign. We are proud of everything we have had done, and we are not proud for some events that took place in America. But we can assure you safety, a good life, and everything you need, only by giving us a working life, and total devoutness to us, you can have all of that under our reign. We can make many other discussion about the issue and come up in better solutions, that the one that you proposed, that takes lunacy, and war. We can make many more agreements. So, I repeat citizens of America, and Patrick Henry, we would love to give you liberty, but not independence, and we would hate to give you death, but if you want death, we will give you death.
-British Loyalist
