The Earl of Chatham condemns the American revolutionary goals of liberty and republicanism, and declares: "Whilst America retain'd her allegience, I was the Friend of America; whilst there was room for honorable accommodation, I was happy to propose the terms. That era is past, tis now too late to negotiate. . . . America must submit to the constitutional authority of Gr. Britain, and her submission must be absolute, unlimited and unconditional."
