When the time came and Europe needed an outlet for its surplus energy, God let down the bars and America was discovered.

He had let down the bars again for his own purposes.
The occupants of the galleries will bear me witness that even these modern Pilgrims these Pilgrims with all the modern improvements how hard it is to put up with their weaknesses, their follies, their tyrannies, their oppressions, their desire of dominion and rule.
"A tender Christian sympathy appears to be awakened in the minds of many who are not in religious profession with us, who have seriously considered the oppressions and disadvantages under which those people have long labored; and whether a pious care extended to their offspring is not justly due from us to them is a consideration worthy our serious and deep attention."
Their oppressions, and seductions, and debaucheries, are the theme of many an angry verse; and the indignation and abhorrence of the reader is relentlessly conjured up against those perturbators of society, and scourges of mankind.

He is on the side of the weak in every combat, the partisan of the oppressed.
She took his side against his teachers; she could not believe in his oppressions of his younger playmates; she was absurdly indignant and resentful when some sturdy boy stood up for his own rights, or championed another's, and sent the incipient bully back to her, crying, and with a bloody nose.
The unhappy laborers were subject to the most cruel oppressions, but the knowledge that their wages came from the pockets of those whom their work nowise benefited was so gratifying to them that nothing could induce them to leave the service of their heartless employers to engage in lighter and more useful labor.
