Which quotation supports the inference that Great Britain had no intention of giving the colonies the right to freedom?
O A.
"Our petitions have been slighted; our remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our
supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne!"
(paragraph 3)
OB. "For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the
magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate." (paragraph 1)
OC. "If we wish to be free-if we mean to preserve inviolate those inestimable privileges for which we have been
so long contending-if we mean not basely to abandon the noble struggle in which we have been so long
engaged...--we must fight!" (paragraph 3)
O D.
"Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great an arduous struggle for liberty?" (paragraph 2)
