Jonathan's
Opinion of the First Continental Congress
Jonathan is a merchant who trades goods by ship between England and the American
Colonies.
"This colonial assembly think they meet in secret session, but with
so many spies in our ports, it's difficult to keep information from those who
wish to know what's going on. I can only hope that they listen to the wise Joseph
Galloway. He is drafting a plan to somehow compromise a way to have more
freedom, yet stay under British rule.
I fear for my livelihood should this country ever be under the rule of such
hotheads as Patrick
Henry and Sam Adams! These treasonous radicals actually prefer death to
not having their "so-called" liberty. They are gifted speakers and
have the power to incite the people into a war with England. That would be a
terrible mistake.
We must remain loyal to our Motherland and somehow find a way to work this
out! Too many lives are at stake."
