The colonist’s declaration that “they are acting in defence of the freedom that is our birthright for the protection of our property, acquired solely by the honest industry of our fore-fathers and ourselves” is very ironic. Freedom is the state of being free from coercion or constraint. Before the colonists arrived, freedom was everywhere. People lived in peace and harmony and freedom prevailed.

As soon as the colonists arrived, things changed. They took away our properties and most importantly freedom. The colonists argue that they were acting in defence of our freedom. The same people who attacked and killed us declare that they are doing this in defence of our freedom. That is very ironic. How can one act in defence of something that has been created by the same person? Is it possible for a criminal to kills himself so that he does not commit more crime yet the act of killing himself is a crime?

The colonists took away the freedom, which is our birthright but then pretended to defend the same freedom by killing those who tried to regain the freedom. Instead of protecting the properties, they seized them or their own use yet they did this to protect our properties. Our properties needed no protection from ourselves. They needed protection from the same colonists who grabbed them. How can I steal my friend’s car to protect it against my friend? That is very ironic. My friend needs to protect the car from me. This justification used by the colonists to take away our freedom and properties was ironic. It is us who were acting in defense of our freedom and not them.
