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.

Sea chest with an American Clipper on the lid, 19th century and repainted in the 20th century
>>varied in size from about 26" up to 40" long and from 16" wide to 26" wide, usually about 18" high. That doesn't sound like much room, but you can pack quite a bit of clothing and gear in there and it was often all a sailor possessed.<<
how big was a Sea Chest?
