They were farmers, colonists, plantation owners and homesteaders. They were being manipulated by a constitutional monarchy for increased taxes, pushing them beyond their means of providing a reasonable living for their families, threatening their very lifestyles with financial ruin and disparity. As time and chance passed, it accelerated those threats. With God given unalienable rights to humanity, these men stood up and said, “no more”. They threw barrels of tea leaves into a harbor and refused provisions from the same constitutional monarchy that threatened their way of life. These farmers, colonists, plantation owners and homesteaders turned into 52 men who signed an official document, making a public statement to create a new Government and a new people, completely abolishing all dependency and resources from their current government. These men fought to defend their position for freedom, some losing everything they owned, their farms, families, money, even their own lives. This document still binds this new formed Government and is the way of life for millions of people who have a new freedom of democracy, now called Americans. The new National Anthem lyrics encompasses the words, “And the rockets' red glare, the bombs bursting in air, Gave proof through the night that our flag was still there”. The Flag was still there because of men who refused to quit, men who would not defy their faith in God and men who would not accept defeat. The document is The Declaration of Independence. Let us always remember the sacrifices from a few to provide freedom for many.

Happy Independence Day
