Welcome to the Online Rally Point for the New York Militia
"Gentlemen may cry peace, peace—but there is no peace. The war is actually begun!... Our brethren are already in the field! Why stand we here idle?... What is it that gentlemen wish? What would they have? Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!” — Patrick Henry (Second Virginia Convention; March 23, 1775; St. John's Church in Richmond, Virginia)
