If a country were not worth protecting, it was not worth claiming. - George Rogers Clark

I carry in my right hand war, and peace in my left... Here is a bloody belt and a white one. Take which you please.

My name is Clark, and I have come out to see what you brave fellows are doing in Kentucky and to lend you a helping hand, if necessary.

I have given the United States half the territory they possess, and for them to suffer me to remain in poverty, in consequence of it, will not redound much to their honor hereafter.
