The Country Was Made Without Lines Of Demarcation, And It Is No Man's Business To Divide It... Do Not Misunderstand Me, But Understand Me Fully With Reference To My Affection For The Land.

I Claim A Right To Live On My Land And Accord You The Privilege To Live On Yours.

I Labored Hard To Avoid Trouble And Bloodshed.
