Nathan Hale was an American Revolution hero. He became a spy against the British occupation of the 13 Colonies. He was captured by the British and sentenced to hang ( common punishment for spies at that time ). His famous & patriotic last words were the following " I regret that I have only one life to give for my country". There is some historical controversy about Hale's last words but the words are an example of what a true patriot of that day might say while on the gallows.
Before Nathan Hale became a spy, he was a school teacher. Once he joined the army and they were in need of a spy to figure out when the British would attack, Nathan Hale elected himself. Nathan Hale went to the British encampment and became a "School Teacher" for his disguise. One day as Nathan was in a local pub, a British officer noticed Nathan Hale and thought he looked very familiar. Nathan Hale had powder burns on his right cheek from a musket. A school teacher would not of had this. Due to Nathan hales burns on his face, and how uncommon it looked. They figured out that he was a spy. And hung him. When he was hung the last words he spoke were "I only regret that I have but one life to lose for my country." and this is what Nathan Hale is most known for. -Written by a student from Ms.Rosas's class. 2010.

A pardon for those marked to hang.
Rev. Hale quits the court because he realises how corrupt and wrong they are to hang people for innocent things. I mean, even after they realised they were in the wrong, they still thought they had to because they had already hanged the other innocent people.
