"I am master of the whole Choctaw nation; by birth, by long employment, & by long experience, it is to me to give instruction to the rest. . . .When I was young, the white men came among us bearing abundance. . . . I now see another race of white men come among us bearing the same abundance, & I expect they will be equally generous, which must be done if they wish equally to gain the affection of my people. . . .In case we deliver up our French medals & commissions, we expect to receive as good in their place, and that we should bear the same authority & be entitled to the same presents. . . .I am not of opinion that in giving land to the English, we deprive ourselves of the use of it. On the contrary, I think we shall share it with them, as for example the house I now speak in was built by the white people on our land, yet it is divided between the white & the red people. Therefore, we need not be uneasy that the English settle upon our lands, as by that means they can more easily supply our wants.

THESE are the times that try men’s souls: The summer soldier 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 everything its value. Heaven knows how to set a proper price upon its goods; and it would 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 [disrespectful], for so unlimited a power can belong only to GOD.
