Mr. Middleton, l fought
with Captain Martin...
:16:03
...under Washington
in the French and lndian War.
:16:07
There`s not a man in this room...
:16:10
...or anywhere for that matter, to whom
l would more willingly trust my life.
:16:16
There are alternatives to war.
:16:20
We take our case before the king.
:16:23
-We plead with him.
-We tried.
:16:25
Well, then, we try again and again
if necessary to avoid a war.
:16:30
l was at Bunker Hill.
:16:34
The British advanced three times.
:16:36
We killed 700 at point-blank range
and still they took the ground.
:16:42
That is the measure of their resolve.
:16:46
lf your principles dictate
independence...
:16:49
...then war is the only way.
:16:53
lt is come to that.
:16:55
Hear, hear.
:16:59
l have seven children.
:17:02
My wife is dead.
:17:06
Now, who`s to care for them
if l go to war?
:17:12
Wars are not fought
only by childless men.
:17:17
Granted.
:17:22
But mark my words.
:17:27
This war will be fought,
not on the frontier...
:17:32
...or on some distant battlefield...
:17:36
...but amongst us.
:17:38
Among our homes.
:17:42
Our children will learn of it
with their own eyes.
:17:49
And the innocent will die
with the rest of us.
:17:58
l will not fight.
