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.
Scene from The Alamo with Richard Widmark as Jim Bowie. The gun is supposed to be a Nock gun used by the Royal Navy during the Napoleonic wars. All seven barrels fired at once. Al_in_Ottawa
