We need our founding fathers' brilliance, values, discipline, and honor today. These are not the things of days gone by
but the tools for rebuilding our Republic TODAY!
In the years preceding the American Revolutionary War, only one third of the colonists yearned for independence from the
tyrannical rule of England. Once again, only a minority think
that their freedom is worth fighting and possibly dying for.
Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect.

Founding Rivals: Madison vs. Monroe, The Bill of Rights, and The Election that Saved a Nation The Amazing True Story of the Election That Saved the Constitution
In 1789, James Madison and James Monroe ran against each other for Congress—the only time that two future presidents have contested a congressional seat. But what was at stake, as author Chris DeRose reveals in Founding Rivals: Madison vs. Monroe, the Bill of Rights, and the Election That Saved a Nation, was more than personal ambition. This was a race that determined the future of the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, the very definition of the United States of America. |
The founding fathers foresaw a nation of 300,000,000 people living together in freedom with their God-given rights and all the opportunities that come with a nation under God.
Too bad for us.

For the cause of American independence.
They were the most legendary and respected politicians, statesmen and warriors of history's first republic since the days of ancient Rome. They were also traitors and smugglers, rabble rousers and hot-heads, unfaithful husbands and prodigious drinkers. Because despite what some history books and much folklore would have us believe, our nation's revered Founding Fathers were, in fact, human beings. Now, in this comprehensive four-part series, gain a fascinating, engagingly intimate glimpse behind the iconic images on the marble busts and the noble faces gazing out from our dollar bills and pocket change. And discover the remarkable, unseen private sides of the men who risked their reputations, fortunes and lives for the cause of American independence.
Friedrich Wilhelm von Steuben, the Prussian officer who reorganized the Continental Army and guided it to victory.
These guys sacrificed everything for the cause and they had alot to lose. If they got caught it was certain death by the rope.So don't be fooled by people who say something different like they were slave owners. Well the truth be told 12 of 13 colonies wanted to end slavery but 1 (SC) refused. It was an all or nothing deal. A United States with slavery or no United States at all. Either way it wasn't the time for the end of slavery.
This cartoon appeared along with Franklins editorial about the "disunited state" of the colonies,and helped make his point about the importance of colonial unity. During that era, there was a superstition that a snake will return to life if the pieces were put together before sunset.
