“Yonder are the Hessians. They were bought for seven pounds and tenpence a man. Are you worth more? Prove it. Tonight the American flag floats from yonder hill or Molly Stark sleeps a widow!”

“I dare say the men would fight very well if properly officered, although they are an exceedingly dirty and nasty people.”
George Washington on his own army

 

[Ben Lamb]

“The hour is fast approaching on which the honour and success of this army, and the safety of our bleeding country depend. Remember, officers and soldiers, that you are free men, fighting for the blessings of liberty… that slavery will be your portion… if you do not acquit yourselves like men.”
George Washington, 1776
