Reflecting upon the times of the American Revolution, I notice a major difference in people. John Adams, John Hancock and all the rest of the boys knew full well what their fate might be. These were a bunch of rag tag hooligans in the eyes of the most powerful nation in the world at that time. But, they were bound together by the knowledge of right, and from whom they would draw the strength to do what few believed could be done.
How many people today would be willing to pledge to each other, their lives and fortunes to change the government that imposes outrageous taxes, denies freedom of speech and rights just to live in peace their lives the way they want. There are many that say they would pay the price to make America great again. But, nothing happens.
There was only about 10% of the colonist that wanted to risk breaking away from the crown.
And they built a nation that all the world used to admire.
