The words continue:
"Our application may exhibit a new spectacle, in the History & Politicks of Mankind- A Soverign Power; soley intent to bless its People agreeing to a dismemberment of its parts, in order to secure the Happiness of the whole- and we fondly flatter ourselves from motives not purely Local, it is to give Birth, to that catalogue of great events, which we pursuade ourselves, is to diffuse throughout the World. the inestimable blessings, which mankind may derive from the American Revolution.-"
Wow..."the inestimable blessings, which mankind may derive from the American Revolution" written and dated 23 Septerber 1785. Words that some would believe have come to pass.
Take from: Petitions of The Early Inhabitants of Kentucky To The General Assembly of Virginia 1769 to 1792, by James Rood Robertson, 1914.
