A person that will not be ruled or enslaved. A
self-reliant, self-sufficient, independent person of any sex, any race that is
self-directed, self-disciplined, and self-governed. A person that is not opposed to collective governments but believes each person's rights come not from man-made governments but from God and that all are responsible and
accountable for their own actions. The exact opposite of a slave.
Thomas Payne was a true freeman .... quote "government, even in its best state, is but a
necessary evil; in its worst state an intolerable one; for when we suffer or are exposed to the same miseries by a government, which we might expect in a country without government, our calamity is heightened by reflecting that we
furnish the means by which we suffer.".......
