“Your pernicious Counsels have destroyed our Commerce,
checked and discouraged our Manufactures,
distressed our Colonies, impoverished our Merchants,
injured Public Credit, impaired our Trade,
promoted Corruption, dishonored the Nation, and
plunged the most Virtuous part of our Dominions,
in all the Horrors of a Civil War,
which you most impudently affect to call Rebellion.”

— Crisis, No. 35
