ALLIES OF GREAT BRITAIN.

While Virginia was battling with her oppressors on her eastern shores,
she was also compelled to defend her frontier against the savage hordes
employed by the emissaries of Great Britain to whom she paid a premium
for the scalps snatched from the heads of helpless women and children.
Thus Christian England, then boasting of the splendors of her
civilization, turned loose the ruthless savage to murder and burn at the
stake the people of her own blood.
