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? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

Interesting that there are a couple of counties in Mississippi that have a measurable Icelandic population
WOW, a little smidge of Iceland near me in Western North Carolina. Funny I can't recall meeting anyone with an Icelandic accent in all the years I've been here.
Gimli, Manitoba was established in 1875 by Icelandic settlers. The word Gimli means "heavenly abode” or "home of the Gods” in Icelandic. The community remains the largest population of Icelandic people outside Iceland.

ReplyDeleteThe ones in Mississippi are probably at University of Mississippi in Oxford.
