Jane Adams, spoken: By God I have had this congress. For ten years, Queen Georgia and her parliament have gulled, cullied, and diddled these colonies, and STILL this congress refuses to grant any of my proposals on independence, even so much as the courtesy of open debate. Good God, what in hell are they waiting for?!
