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.
Reminds me of this great book about England's only monarch who is called "The Great", Alfred: https://www.amazon.com/White-Horse-King-Alfred-Great/dp/1595552529
Bernard Cornwell wrote some great historical fiction (The Saxon Tales aka The Last Kingdom) about Alfred the Great and Saxon and Norman battles. You damn near taste the blood and mud when he describes fighting in a shield wall. Good stuff. -lg
I read quite a few of the Bernard Cornwell while languishing in the DC Gulag as one of the 1583 political prisoners of the Biden regime. Fuck Joe Biden, Merick Garland, Matthew Graves and everyone of those D
