A Calm Address To Our America Colonies is an impassioned plea and argument by John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, for the people of America to submit to their 'mother country', and to cease from revolutionary attitudes and actions. In this fascinating history piece, Wesley argues against democracy and republics, suggesting that they bring about despotism and anarchy, and presents his arguments that it is unwise, illegal and immoral for the colonists to continue to fight for independence, also citing his belief that the American Revolution was being driven by an English conspiracy to overthrow the king and government.
