The unwinnable war America's Founding Fathers fought and won changed human history forever

Two hundred and forty -nine years ago, 56 men met at the Pennsylvania State House in Philadelphia to betray the most powerful empire in the world.

These men representing the 13 colony of this empire – a mixture of landowners, entrepreneurs, politicians and others – fell in love with a new series of ideas flowing from enlightenment thinkers and Christian teachings. These convictions did not believe that they could win a sane person.

Remember what the government looks like then. Now we live in the world 56 men have been created – a world in which even dictators such as North Korea hide themselves in the “Republic” language.

However, in 1776, freedom, equality and self -governing were new concepts adopted by philosophers and fully adopted in just a few small generations. The majority of countries in the world were hereditary monarchies and empires in which equal rights and individual freedom were not considered. The war of the founders seemed incomprehensible.

In starting this, the second continental congress was largely a man – Thomas Jefferson – – Humanity and this new country and the visions that would reshape the history and history.

Imagine how to feel. Jefferson, from June 11 to June 28 to prepare the document, he worn himself in a rental house in Market Street. He was 33 years old. He prepared what I think was one of the most beautiful passages in history at the rented town house:

These facts are clearly that all men have been created equally, have the rights to be designed by their creator in a certain way, and that they are the search for life, freedom and happiness among them.

Read again. Read under a Spanish colony in South America or under the iron fist of the Qing dynasty in China. Read the King George in Virginia as if you were a poor tenant farmer (still decades of freedom under the principles of declaration) in Georgia.

Why is the Maga movement 1776 revolution of our time?

Thanks to your social station and in a system where your future is limited to birth conditions, you grew up in a system as if you have grown.

The Declaration was actually a “revolutionary” expression that expressed an ideological and factual basis for a coup against the empire. But spiritually, it was more important than that.

It was a revolution against history. It was a revolution against the idea that some men (and women) were more valuable than others. It was a revolution for the idea of ​​dignity, human rights and equality before law.

And when Jefferson sent his document to the congress and these 56 men signed him, and when he sent it to King George and other rulers in the world, he fired a war that would become a century -old war to turn America into freedom.

The war they took. Five of the signatures were caught, tortured and killed. He died of wounds or difficulties fought in nine wars. They were all impressed – violence, their homes and properties were destroyed, and their children were pushed to violence. They died of starvation. They lost wars.

They must have wondered if it will be worth it – these ideals that cause a nation to violence. And then, they won unexpectedly.

While creating America, the founding fathers reshaped history. Now we live in a world where almost half of the countries are democracies. Political freedom, free markets and the combination of technological innovations released by these systems have removed billions of people from poverty – 100 times rich in independence.

Globally dominant ideology is the ideology that is expressed in a statement. And the revolution in America has become a revolution in the history of humanity.

This weekend, we celebrate the Independence Day in the United States. We celebrate 56 men who risk everything. But at the same time, we seriously reflect the accusation of the declaration and the authors.

All people are created equally. That we all have irrevocable rights by our Creator. Each of us deserves life, freedom and the ability to follow our own unique ways to develop. However, non -transferred rights are not guaranteed. As our front legs, we are called to embrace and fight for them.

Abraham Lincoln said that once the great men would be “thirst for distinction and burning” and “free men who enslave the slaves at the expense of liberating slaves”. And the forces opposing freedom, dignity and opportunity all over the world fight without stopping to rule others.

Let’s fight on this independence day. Let us have courage and beliefs in order to opposite the enemies of freedom and to continue to fight for the promise of the United States’ Spiritual Foundation. Let’s do this from love – for the blessings of our neighbors and the Creator. And can we gain courage from these 56 men, hundreds of thousands of citizens and the undefeated war. Happy Independence Day.
