What are the Key Points of this speech?
Have you ever thought about how unfair everything is? King George imposed taxes on us, stopped trade with other countries, and removed our voice in the court. We should be able to do something. Instead, we’re treated like animals! We have to give, give, and give without taking anything.
When we stop King George, we'll have to give him reasons why we hate him, like, " cutting off our trade with all parts of the world; for imposing taxes without our consent,” etc. King George will feel guilty and want to take us back, but we’ll say NO! He has used us in the past, so we will not let it continue in the future.
England started this fight, but America will end it! We will stand firm, even when it's hard until we're set free! King George has tried to make us poor, and I know this because I intercepted a letter. It had said, “taxing would make her rich, whereas it would make you poor.” There is no doubt what they’re talking about since King George has taxed us continuously! England shall regret this! Do they want us to give? We will deliver them revenge!
How dare King George tax us on every single piece of paper. He has proudly put the Stamp Act around the docks. He has decreed, “for every… sheet or piece of paper, on which shall be… written or printed” shall be taxed! What an excessive thing to do! We're not tools for his doings! We are not dogs or his slaves; We will oppose him until our dying breath. We will do it until we acquire what we desire. Who’s with me?! Who wants to show King George what he is up against?
