cornstock we the good citizens of

Philadelphia

urgently request that the local militia

expel from our town all disaffected

persons and their

supporters you know what disaffected

persons are working people who don't

want to be poor who want to feed their

kids and aren't afraid to say

so we are the good citizens of

Philadelphia we're the real Patriots

we're supporting this w*r on our backs

the rich want us to shut our mouths

while their children stuff themselves

the rich people are not playing by the

rules of our new

country all we want is a fair Shake come

poor working

[Music]

Americans maybe you're right to be

[Music]

scared

we must fight the Americans why should

we honor the Treaty of camp Charlotte

the Americans

[Music]

haven't they're supposed to let us live

north of the Ohio river in peace but

they burn our Fields they cut down trees

they slaughter game for sport they sh**t

at us on our shore why must we turn our

backs when we're injured we're losing

our land Our lives our self-respect I

don't say we should attack the American

Americans if they leave us alone I say

we should protect ourselves if they

attack us or else we will be

[Music]

destroyed I gave my word to the

Americans that we would remain at peace

so did many of you I have never gone

back on my word have you but one thing

concerns me even more than my honor as a

man the survival of my people if we

fight the Americans they will come at us

until they destroy us we do not have the

strength to drive them out our best hope

is that the Americans lose the white

man's w*r to the English I am a warrior

it is hard for me not to fight the

Americans but if we can survive this w*r

and the English win we will give our

sons and our daughters and their sons

and daughters a chance to survive

too

[Music]

well played

Sarah Sarah you would be a good Shae why

thank you elipso that's a high

compliment Sarah they believe most white

executive Council LED his light horse in

breaking up the crowd five men died in

the fort Wilson r died and 17 were

wounded James Wilson is not an angel but

in our new nation everyone has the right

to do process of

law just as the writer of this piece who

was threatened with bodily harm for

daring to take issue with the mob has

the right nay the responsibility to

write the truth as he sees it in the

United States of America we the people

have the freedom to write what we want

to

write I lost you for six years Sarah

I'll not risk losing you

forever we couldn't help cornstalk in

be sorry what will happen to them Father

they'll probably be held as hostages and

traded to the shaune for American

prisoners run Robert Gilmore the shaie

they wouldn't

ilpo I will never understand white men

they have no rules no honor the w*r has

been a disaster for the shauni what will

happen to us father we will fight the

Americans and be destroyed and what will

happen to us maybe the Americans will

trade us for soldiers maybe they will

k*ll us if they do since we are warriors

our souls will enjoy a special place

become we will have Vengeance for our

great Chief and his son we will make the

River safe for our fishermen to fish in

and our children to bathe in we will

drive the white man from the valley of

Ohio

forever

father what kind of land is this will

the fighting never stop Sarah listen to

Ohio Frontier here is too

wild I would like to take you out of

here now myself but I

can't I must help my shaie friends

through this difficult time I made a

solemn promise to cornstock that I would

do

nothing to forgive I'll be happy to have

you far away from the

fighting when the w*r is over you and

your mother will join me in New York or

Massachusetts or Connecticut and we will

live our lives as we please together
