Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions
of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth,
and listen to the song of that siren, till she transforms us
into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a
great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to
be of the number of those, who, having eyes, see not, and
having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern
their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of
spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to
know the worst, and to provide for it.
What is most likely the author's purpose in this section of the speech?
to inspire citizens to take up arms and fight
