Laurie Halse Anderson Quote
What if a king made bad laws; laws so unnatural that a country broke them by declaring its freedom? He threw his arms in the air. Now you are spouting nonsense. Two slaves running away from their rightful master is not the same as America wanting to be free of England. Not the same at all. How is it then that the British offer freedom to escaped slaves, but the Patriots don’t?
