I have a quote from the late 1760's he did not let Quakerism deter his belief in rebellion against tyrants. He believed as the other Reformers did, but wanted to hold out for England. If he had kept silent about his views as the Livingston's did, it would have been him, not Jefferson, to draught the Declaration. I have written less than a large amount about Dickinson.
