Independent
Brothers, my people wish for peace; but where the white people are, there is no peace for them. My people will not
[make peace]; they are serious and
stubborn (insist) on revenge: they have taken up the tomahawk (an axe-like
weapon); they will make it fat with
blood; they will drink the blood of (kill) the white people. Brothers, my
people
are
brave and [we are] many, but the
white people are too strong for them [to fight] alone. I wish
you to take up the
tomahawk with them. If we all unite, we
will cause the rivers to stain the great waters with their blood
.
How does the speaker use descriptive language to show how determined they are and what might happen
if they don't act?
