Col. Harry Burwell:
This is not a war for the independence of one or two colonies, but for the independence of one nation.
Capt. Wilkins:
Tell me, Colonel, what nation is that?
Mr. Howard:
An American nation!
Capt. Wilkins:
There is no such nation, and to speak of one is treason.
Mr. Howard:
We ARE citizens of an American nation! And our rights are being threatened by a tyrant three thousand miles away!
Benjamin Martin:
Would you tell me please, Mr. Howard, why should I trade one tyrant three thousand miles away for three thousand tyrants one mile away? An elected legislature can trample a man's rights as easily as a king can.
Col. Harry Burwell:
Captain Martin, I understood you to be a patriot.
Benjamin Martin:
If you mean by patriot, am I angry about taxation without representation, well, yes I am. Should the American colonies govern themselves independently? I believe that they can, and they should. But if you are asking me, am I willing to go to war with England? Well, then the answer is most definately NO!
