 Description: The spring opened with the “dreadful note of preparation” throughout America for defensive war. It was found that vigorous measures must be pursued to oppose the torrent which was preparing to overwhelm the colonies, soon to be for ever separated from the British empire by the Declaration of Independence. Troops were levying in all parts of the continent, and great numbers of American youth volunteered in the service of their country. A large army of reinforcement was shortly expected from England to land on our shores, and “the confused noise of warriors and garments rolled in blood,” were already anticipated.
