AMERICA IS APPROACHING RULE BY THE BAYONET

 

U.S. Speaker of the House Robert Winthrop 

Stated, May 28, 1849:

"Men, in a word,

Must be controlled

Either by a power within them,

Or a power without them; 

Either by the word of God, 

Or by the strong arm of man;

Either by the Bible 

Or by the bayonet."
