And you get a sense that Otis might be just even a little bit afraid.
Yeah.
They are talking about treason, right?
The last one is kind of hard to read because it's so full of this kind of language.
Check this out.
If there's anything offensive, he's referring to his previous pamphlets.
He says, if there is anything offensive in either, I am heartily sorry.

Well, I mean, I think he was afraid.
You know, the pushback was fervent.
John Adams, once again, always with his diaries and notes, always observing the scene, writes that Otis was called a reprobate, an apostate, and a traitor in every street in Boston.
The indignation of all his political friends against him was universal.
So now Otis is a pariah, the town goat.
Right, right.
And, you know, I think, you know, Otis, in that pamphlet, he floats so many radical ideas.
I mean, when he goes off about racial equality, he's speaking to an audience that almost 100% can't hear anything he's saying.
Right?
He is in a world of his own making.
He's in an America that wouldn't exist for, well, doesn't exist yet.
Yeah.
