To understand why the American revolutionaries thought it was necessary to separate from King and country, we must examine a phrase they used often during the 1760s and 1770s: the “spirit of liberty.” To modern Americans, the notion of a “spirit of liberty” might seem like little more than flowery rhetoric. To 18th-century Americans, however, it meant something real and important.

The word “spirit” as used in the phrase signifies an action in defense of a principle, and was defined by American patriots as a sentiment, a mindset, a disposition, and a virtue. As a sentiment, it loves freedom and hates slavery; as a mindset, it is watchful, suspicious, and skeptical; as a disposition, it is restless, protective, and vigilant; and as a virtue, it is defined by integrity, fortitude, courage, and patriotism. Taken together, the “spirit of liberty” is a sense of life defined by independence in the fullest sense of the term.

The spirit of American liberty served as a kind of moral and psychological tripwire that was first triggered by the passage of the Stamp Act in 1765 and kept active with every piece of British legislation aimed at the Americans in the decade before 1776. During these years, American Whigs developed objective standards by which to measure the justice and injustice of British legislation. These standards, when combined with the “spirit of liberty,” provided the Americans with an early warning system that alerted them to the growth of arbitrary power.

By the early 1760s, this emerging moral awareness was taking root in the political consciousness of the colonists. Thus their contest with Great Britain was not to create new freedoms de novo, but to restore and maintain lost freedoms. The American “spirit of liberty” meant discovering and resisting the forces of despotism before such forces could sink roots in the New World. It was common for colonial Americans to view power as restless and sleepless, which meant they must be ever alert to its machinations. The colonists frequently invoked Machiavelli’s famous dictum, “Obsta princiipis” (i.e., to resist the first beginnings).

The keepers of America’s vestal flame recognized that political power is an omnipresent force in all societies, which is why the liberty-loving temper of the people must be ignited, nurtured, and kept on alert. No infringement of their rights could be seen as too small to protest or resist. Built into the Americans’ grammar of liberty was the notion that tyranny always begins with some seemingly small and insignificant violation of rights that goes unnoticed at first but that sets a precedent for further violations.

Rekindling and stoking the spirit of American liberty became a central theme repeated over and over again in the writings of leading American Patriots. Even British observers of American affairs, such as Edmund Burke, took note of, and attributed causal force to, the colonists’ “spirit of liberty.” In his 1775 speech on conciliation with the colonies, Burke was moved to explain that the single most important factor in understanding the Americans’ resistance to British legislation was their “temper and character.” Burke thought he had located the deepest source of their behavior over the course of the previous decade. He wrote:

a love of Freedom is the predominating feature which marks and distinguishes the whole: and as an ardent is always a jealous affection, your Colonies become suspicious, restive, and untractable, whenever they see the least attempt to wrest from them by force, or shuffle from them by chicane, what they think the only advantage worth living for. This fierce spirit of Liberty is stronger in the English Colonies probably than in any other people of the earth.

The Americans’ “spirit of liberty,” according to Burke, provided the primary, causal explanation for why they reacted to the Stamp, Declaratory, Townshend, Tea, Coercive, and Prohibitory Acts, as well as the advancing British Deep State, in such a determined way.

"NECKLACING" was used by the black community to punish its members who were perceived as collaborators with the apartheid government.Necklacing was primarily used on black police informants; the practice was often carried out in the name of the struggle, although the executive body of the African National Congress (ANC), the most broadly supported South African opposition movement, condemned it.In 1986, Winnie Mandela, then-wife of the imprisoned Nelson Mandela, stated, "With our boxes of matches, and our necklaces, we shall liberate this country", which was widely seen as an explicit endorsement of necklacing.This caused the ANC to initially distance itself from her, although she later took on a number of official positions within the party.

The first victim of necklacing, according to the South African Truth and Reconciliation Commission, was a young black woman, Maki Skosana, on 20 July 1985.

Sweden was the biggest support of ANC. (African National Congress)

Despite US already had called ANC a terrorist organisation.


(Shortly after his release from prison, Mandela visited Sweden as the first country to visit since he's release.)
