Liberty's Kids, episode number 33, Conflict in the South.  Things are beginning to change in the war for independence and freedom.


Thomas Jefferson - In Brief from Chuck Thompson


As part of our Liberty Education Series, we have this brief history about Thomas Jefferson.  A man of many talents and one of the best men who ever lived in regards to Liberty Justice, Freedom, Independence and Freedom of religion, not freedom from religion.  Gloucester officials would do well to learn more about this remarkable man.   Click on the icon in the bottom right hand corner of the document to enlarge for reading.  Free downloads are available from our SlideShare site.  You will need to log in with either your Facebook account or LinkedIn account or create a free account.  Then you can get the download.

Sybil Ludington's 40 Mile Call To Arms



Liberty's Kids, episode 21.  Sybil Ludington.  We were not able to find an e-book with the story of Sybil Ludington, but here is a link to some of the best information out there.

This e-book gives some stories of the battles in the war for independence.  It was by no means an easy feat.  What is sad, our education system does not teach this throughout all grades of schooling.  It should be mandatory.  But then again, when you have no idea what you are giving up, it becomes easy to take it from you.  Think about it.

United We Stand - No taxation Without Representation - The Stamp Act






 This episode of Liberty's Kids, #3, is called, United We Stand.  Liberty's Kids is a very well researched and presented account of American History.  We are using these cartoons as part of our Liberty Education Series as they are fun, entertaining and educational.

Here we have a copy of the history of the Stamp Act.  Ever wonder where the famous phrase came from, "No Taxation Without Representation", came from?  Here is the historical story and why it matters.   Today we have plenty of taxation without representation.  Is it fair?  No.  Why do we allow it?  Because too many people have no understanding about the history of this nation and as such, have no idea why it could possibly mean anything to them.  Unless the American people once again learn history and why it matters, our rights will continue to vanish.
