4-28-1776. John to Abigail. “We are hastening rapidly to great events. Governments will be up everywhere before midsummer, and an end to Royal style, titles and authority. Such mighty revolutions make a deep Impression on the minds of me and set [many violent] passions at work. hope, fear, joy, sorrow, love, hatred, malice, envy, revenge, jealousy, ambition, avarice, resentment, gratitude, and every other passion, feeling, sentiment, principle and imagination, were never in more lively exercise than they are now, from Florida to Canada inclusively. May God in his Providence overrule the whole.” #TBT http://ow.ly/i/elDic
