Why would they close our ports! They must want us to rebel even more. They’re forcing us to a point where we have no choice. How dare they tax us and then have the audacity to block our harbor with their ships! They want us to perish from cold and hunger. Some mother country they are! They don’t care about our well being. They only care of their own wealth. What else is a justification of them treating us so harshly? We provide most of their resources and wealth. And they thank us in return with this. Us dumping their tea in the harbor does not compare to all they’ve put us through. They are degrading us! I hope this shows all the other colonists who weren’t sure whose side they were on, that the British Empire doesn’t even want them. This only fuels our fire! Are we supposed to be scared into submission?! I think not! They want us to stay divided, but if we unite there will be no way they can diminish our spirits of liberty. Our problems in Boston are not only ours, but everyone’s, when they realize it will only be time until all this is effecting them as well.Circular Letter of the Boston Committee of Correspondence; May 13, 1774.
