I'm American to my core.
Remember, even in 1776, not everyone agreed with independence. Many (most) weren't on board ... yet.
Thank you, you crazy-ass geniuses who orchestrated the Revolution like true masters and twisters of fate.
Yes, I keep a reprint of the Declaration of Independence here in my house. Never forget; NEVER forget.
| When
in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to
dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another,
and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station
to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent
respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare
the causes which impel them to the separation. We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. |
