Trixie's Speech About the Delaware River Crossing

Trixie's speech about the Delaware River crossing is about giving the Grand Alliance, Beleninsk Pact, the New Central Powers and the Coalition of the Red Phoenix a lesson about how democracy did prevailed so luckily when George Washington did cross the Delaware River during the American Revolutionary War on Christmas Eve 1775. She also gives the Inkwell Isle Conference guests Christmas greetings and blessings for the fight for democracy, liberty and freedom.

Transcript
"Over 250 years ago, and half a year before the Thirteen Colonies became the United States, on the Christmas Eve of the Terran year 1775 CE, Continental Army general and future US president George Washington had led his troops across the Delaware River in one of the greatest and most powerful times of peril that will change our hearts, minds and lives forever, including yours.

''The men that he led faced defeat time and time again at the hands of the oppressive British colonialists. Between this crossing and the Battles of Lexington and Concord of that year's spring, the uncertain future for democracy was surely to be doomed by a tyrannical government of aristocrats from the other ocean, but not the modern United Kingdom. I meant the past incarnation of the United Kingdom.''

People of the Thirteen Colonies who tried to support their independence were certain that their dreams would soon be crushed forever, but that night proved their pessimistic thoughts so wrong that helped Washington turn these colonies into a unified federation of liberty and freedom that would change history forever.

''This day showed us that we at the island of defeat had crossed the rivers of stalemate into the other island... of victory. The American Revolutionary War gave the Continental Army a favor to liberate these territories to bring democracy back from the ashes of the Spartan-led Peloponnesian League-conquered ancient Athenian city state in Europe where democracy once stood in the past before oligarchy won its feet for centuries long past.''

We'll remember the 54 troops who made it to the other side on a bitter night with George on their side to rebuild democracy with the United States as a phoenix for this government people always wanted to succeed that the things of Scandinavia, the 1061 Papal electors, the Althing of Iceland, the Løgting of the Faroe Islands, the Papal conclaves, electoral bishops, abbots and abbesses, Rashidun electors for Uthman in the Rashidun Caliphate, the Tamil kingdom of Chola in South India, the duchy of Caranthia, the upper castes of Bengali Gopala, the Holy Roman Empire's Hoftag and Imperial Diets, Frisia, the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the medieval Italian city-states, the Royal and Imperial Free Cities under the Stadtrecht, the Hansetag of the Hanseatic League, the Städtebunds, the Republic of Ragusa (now Dubrovnik in Croatia), the Baltic pirates such as the Victual Brothers, the Cortes of León, the tuatha system in early medieval Ireland, the Veche of Novgorod and other Pskov republics in Russia, the states of Tirol and the Swiss Confederacy, the autonomous merchant city of Sakai, various Volta-Nigeric societies like the Igbos, the Mekhk-Khel system of the Nakh peoples, the Kouroukan Fouga, the Magna Carta-implimented English Parliament, the Cossack Hetmanate, the House of Burgesses and the Corsican Republic had barely succeded and/or failed.

And they did succeded perfectly for the first time since the Athenians, so that night wasn't the final victory for freedom unless we live in ancient Greece, but it thought Americans and future Terrans a lesson in power of courage, of perseverance, of facing a long list of odds and never backing down.

As long as we also remember the consequences of the American Revolution and many other revolutions of days long past, such as the French Revolution, the British electorial reforms of 1832, the constitutional transition of the Ottoman Empire, New Zealander women's rights to vote in 1893, decolonization, the balkanization of the Ottoman and Austro-Hungarian empires, the fight against fascism in World War II, decommunization of various states, and even revolutions against dictators in the Cold War, no matter which side are they in, be it the Soviet Union or the United States, we will never know all their names, or where and when how their stories ended, but the legacy of heroes still flows through the souls of not only Americans, but also the Grand Alliance citizens, as it has in every generation.

The courage of their fight is now called upon to inspire strength for battles of our time.

So for the Inkwell Isle Conference, and on this Christmas night, or in my country, this Hearth's Warming Eve night, remember, no matter your race, faith, language, wealth or ideology, you are the inheritors of a great and powerful legacy of courage, strength and perseverance.

May God bless your families, friends and the Grand Alliance, the Beleninsk Pact, the New Central Powers and the Coalition of the Red Phoenix.

This is the great and powerful Trixie, and she would like to say: Merry Christmas from the Alliance.
