In regard to the cause to which I have consecrated myself, I esteem nothing more than the approbation of this great people; and I believe it will be sufficient for them to know, how I have honestly and faithfully served the cause of liberty, in which they themselves have given a great and noble example to the world.
In a letter to the New York Committee, Garibaldi expresses his dedication to liberty and his admiration for the American people's example.

More from Giuseppe Garibaldi
It is the Pope-king who retards the moment of the complete liberation of Italy.
But the Pope, who wishes all men to be slaves—who demands, of the powerful of the earth, fetters and chains for Italians—the Pope-king does not know Christ: he lies to his religion.
Education gives liberty—education gives to the people the means and the power to secure and defend their own independence.
Let no one misunderstand my words—let no one confound Popery with Christianity—the Religion of Liberty with the avaricious and sanguinary Politics of Slavery.
