I don't remember offhand. it describes the fact that America is ready to defend itself against "every power [that] may attempt to take them away"

Diana Kirkley: Make sure to note that when it says defend itself against "every power on Earth that may attempt to take them away" them is referring to the freedoms/rights of the Americans

and FYI, //ad infinitum// is a Latin phrase meaning: to infinity

Dymonde: Britain is ruining both countries by trying to rule America.

Tasmia- yeah i think it's saying that most colonists are patriots and are ready to defend their rights but there are the certain groups of loyalists who disagree. whats the "association"?

Diana- I think "the Association" was adopted by the 1st Continental Congress and it established a total boycott of British goods
