The Beginning of American Independence



By now everyone following these posts understands just what a difficult time colonists had during this period in time.  Deciding to become an independent country was not at all an easy task.  What we will show you that the video does not, and there is no real evidence to support the claim, but it is rumored in Gloucester, Virginia that Thomas Jefferson wrote the first draft of the Declaration of Independence at Rosewell Plantation.  It is a fair argument in one sense that he did as he often had very long conversations with his close friend John Page.

Present day Rosewell Ruins in Gloucester, Virginia.  The long discussions between John Page and Thomas Jefferson had a great deal to do with American Independence.  The possibility of Thomas Jefferson traveling to Virginia to actually pen any part of the Declaration of Independence is very slim at best.  The seeds for what Jefferson wrote however, are very real.  So you can debate the subject til the cows come home.  Now, we present the final results of the first Fourth of July, 1776.

Yorktown, American Revolution Victory Video You WIll Love



We have chosen to help the serious lack of education about the history of our nation via cartoon videos, comics, e-books and every other form of media to help re educate or educate the people of this great nation.  We invite one and all to experience Americanism and American History in a fun and exciting way.  Learn what caused us to fight for our freedom to begin with.  We are going to be sharing a lot more of these videos here to help bridge the gap on the very serious lack of education about our nations history.  Every media tool we can use will be used to help in this area.

American Stupidity Regarding 4th of July - Failure of America Education



Are you wondering why we are losing our freedoms?  These people are clueless to American history.  It's what one does expect from the left coast of these United States, Mexico can have California back.  (Okay, just kidding).  How can one expect freedom when one does not even begin to have a clue?  No wonder so many people could care less.  This is a clear failure of our educational system and our public representatives should all be ashamed of themselves.

The Writing And Signing of The Declaration of Independence



Here is a story on what our forefathers went through in deciding the fate of our nation.  Who would have the courage to do the same today?  Our Independence is quickly disappearing and soon the 4th of July will have little to no meaning at all other than a day that we blow off fireworks for some odd and unknown reason.

  History is no longer taught the way it once was and the stories of our nation are disappearing quickly.  Let us at least take a few moments to reflect what the 4th of July and American Independence really means.

As we move towards the 4th of July, now is a good time to look at what one of our forefathers had to say about moving towards independence.  The above is only 5 pages long.  It will become available for free downloads once the folks over at SlideShare fix the issues with that area.  In the mean time, you can read it online.
