Remember the ladies. A Republic if you can keep it. I only regret
that I have but one life to lose for my country. If this be
treason, make the most of it. Don't fire till you see the whites of
their eyes. I can't tell a lie. These words and words like them,
whether written or spoken, had a profound importance during
America's Founding period. These are the words of legend and
gravitas, referenced by generations of teachers, politicians, and
commentators. These are the words that still inspire revolutionary
changes in the United States and elsewhere. But what do they mean?
What's the real story behind them? Why do they inspire us today,
more than two centuries after first spoken or written? We Hold
These Truths...answers these questions about fifty-four of the
best-known quotes from the Founding period. This book covers two
hundred years of early American history and highlights quotes from
both the founders and the founding documents. Combining each quote
with a rich narratives that highlights its astounding, and
generally unknown, origin. History buffs of all ages will love We
Hold These Truths...
