Giuseppe Garibaldi: “It is a nation in the struggles of its second birth.”

You who are here—you, the educated and cultivated portion of the citizenship—you have the duty to educate the people.

You have conquered, and you will conquer, because you are now trained to the tactics which decide battles.

To arms all!—all!—and the oppressors, the supremely powerful, shall be turned into dust.

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.
