When Johnny watched the troops leave the city on their way to battle he felt a sense of nostalgia and respect. He knew that no matter what side a person was on..... they were all Englishmen.
Johnny was an Englishman. The sullen, rebellious people standing about watching Percy and his staff approaching, waiting for the brigade to march, all were Englishmen. That flag — it stood for Magna Charta, the Bill of Rights, Charles the First’s head upon a block, centuries of struggle for ‘English liberty.’ But over here there had grown up a broader interpretation of the word ‘liberty’ : no man to be ruled or taxed except by men of his own choice. But we are still fighting for ‘English liberty’ and don’t you forget it. French slaves to the north of us, Spanish slaves to the south of us. Only English colonies are allowed to taste the forbidden fruit of liberty — we who grew up under England. Johnny thought of James Otis’s words. Upholding the torch of liberty — which had been lighted on the fires of England.Johnny Tremain
