Chapter 13

The Bear Attacks The Eagle

            “There is no avoiding this war now. The Americans have made the first strike. George Washington and the rest of the founding fathers of the original United States knew that there was only one way that the British would listen to them and that was man-to-man conflict, war. California is now in the same situation. The oppressive dictatorship known as the United States, has gone against everything that their founding fathers had fought so hard for. They say they follow the Constitution, but they don’t even know what the first amendment says let alone know what the rest of it is. We won’t be fighting to defend the paper that the Constitution is written on, we will be fighting for ideals that those brave revolutionist fought and gave their lives to protect. We, as Californians, cannot let the men who died during the American Revolution, and neither can we let the brave men and women who died during the Battle of Sacramento, the first battle of this current war, die in vain. If they want to test the power of California let them go ahead. 1776 ushered in a war that pitted the strongest military in the world against a militia army made of farmers and merchants. If my memory serves me correct then I seem to think that the farmers and merchants won that war. The Californian Army may not be made up of a bunch of farmers, but it is still the army of a new country, a new country full of brave citizens willing to protect the ideals that they believe in. If the Americans want to start a war with us, then obviously they didn’t pay attention in history class. They will not learn from the mistakes of the British, thus they are doomed to witness history repeat itself at the expense of the American people. California will stand strong against any enemy that it encounters. So if it is war that the Americans want it is war that they will get. Thank You”
