- Abstract
-
Two Native Americans attack a group of American loyalists. One of the loyalists lies dead on the ground, another, fallen on his back, is about to be slaughtered by the Indian saying "Shelbu-n for ever." The second Indian, with a feathered headdress, pulls a loyalist by the tails of his coat saying "No-th [North] to the devil." Lord Shelburne (William Petty) looks on, smiling, in spite of being attacked by Britannia who aims her spear at his heart and says, "Inhuman smiling Hypocrite thus to disgrace my unsullied fame." He responds, "be not angry Madam no peace no place." A butcher standing behind Shelburne and with inscription above his head, "Even Butchers weep," wipes tears from his face with a large handkerchief. One of the loyalists expresses the popular sentiment that the British government sacrificed them through peace terms: "Ungrateful Britons to Abandon thus your Loyal friends."
