12 had their homes burned. 17 lost everything. One watched the British throw his wife in prison. Another refused a deal that would have freed his captured sons. Not one of the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence ever defected. Not one.

These details need to be taught in all school curriculums so children know that freedom is not free.
Brave men that put everything on the line so we can enjoy our liberties. Now think about what you're willing to do to keep your liberties!!!
You forgot the main name ! Haym Salomon who funded the American Revolution. He lost everything and was forgotten. He was a Jew
So sad that our current school system is not teaching this, or any real history. The young people don’t really know history or what this country means. 🇺🇸
Thank you for this important reminder that this country was built on the shoulders of honorable men and women who sacrificed so much more than I have for my freedoms. I hope to keep up their patriotic sense of duty and teach my children and grandchildren.❤️🇺🇸
This should be taught in school, so kids understand what was on the line and is still on the line. 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
❤️🇺🇸 I feel people would be different if primary education focused on factual history instead of blind emotional interpretations.
If we fall to socialism/communism all will lose all for the greater good (bad). Tearing it all down so it can be built back up will go terribly wrong! So lets all thank god and our founders for the nice life we have today in America! It was not free or just happened! It was fought for by our founders and built up generations and generations of Americans before us! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
And all this sacrifice will be in vain because you forget those heroes…and you left immigrants to take over the country for free…remember their sacrifice today and how much expensive it was….
My Great Great Great Great Great Great Grandfather, Samuel Chase, was the first name under John Hancock
And 55 of those 56 were all CHRISTIAN. That means something.
I learned this in school but sadly we have generations of kids who didnt learn it. Why?
What a contrast - when representatives sacrificed for the good of the people instead of their own power
Average age was 44 many younger than 30
Wow. Why was this never taught in k-12?
