A Single Southern Guy In America

« Take a Spin Around the Cul de Sac | Main | Wonders Never Cease » October 27, 2003 A Thought On A Document Over 200 years ago, fifty-six men gathered to determine the future of a land and a people they loved. Over 28 days in a stifling Philadelphia summer, these brave souls considered a path that would change the history of the world. When they emerged on the Fourth of July, 1776, they spoke with one voice through a single document and revolutionized forever the way people thought about their governments and themselves. A Virginia planter penned this document with the assistance of a Boston lawyer, a Philadelphia inventor and printer, a Connecticut surveyor and merchant, and a New York lawyer. For more than two centuries, their document has served as the light upon the hill that all people who long to be free hold close to their hearts. It still stands today as epitome of American self-reliance, tolerance, equality, and, above all, a love for freedom and liberty. The United States of America’s Declaration of Independence speaks as strongly today as it did on that hot summer day in Philadelphia over 200 years ago. Please add your comments.
