And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms.

There's one similar to that a few miles from my home.

Once the Red coats discovered he was aiding the local rebels, they burnt it to the ground and publicly hanged him.
