Read the passage on the left to answer the following questions: 1) What is the purpose of the passage?
A) to summarize the nation's views of the war
and the sunshine patriot will, in this crisis, shrink from the
service of his country, but he that stands it NOW, deserves
the love and thanks of man and woman. Tyranny, like hell, is
not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us,
that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
What we obtain too cheap, we esteem too lightly: 'Tis
dearness only that gives every thing its value. Heaven knows
how to put a proper price upon its goods, and it should be
strange indeed, if so celestial an article as FREEDOM should
not be highly rated. Britain, with an army to enforce her
tyranny, has declared that she has a right (not only to TAX)
but to BIND us in ALL CASES WHATSOEVER,' and if being
bound in that manner is not slavery, then is there not such a
thing as slavery upon earth. Even the expression is impious,
for so unlimited a power can belong only to GOD.
