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. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two?

Southern is a very compact language. In Texas we have the White Wing Dove, The Mourning Dove, The invasive European Collard Dove, The smaller Mexican Dove, and the seldom seen but often heard Yall Dove which is actually the 4 word contraction of You All Would Have. Y'all'd've. If y'all'd've ate you wouldn't be hungry.
