-- A HISTORY---- The core of this riveting story are the renowned
Scottish philosophers(Luther, Calvin, Knox, Locke, Gillespie and
Rutherford) and their belief in "Liberty of Conscience"upon which
the principles of America's Constitutional law are founded. This
shocking story of the Gillespie family and their fellow
Scots-Irishmen to gain their freedom and liberty from the cruelties
of the English Crown is chronicled from William Wallace to the
American Revolutionaries. Their heritage of bravery and zeal led to
the establishment of the "Bill of Rights" to the Constitution. The
Ulster Scots-Irish greatly contributed to victory in the American
Revolution and insisted upon freedom of religion as the first
amendment to the Constitution. The Scots-Irish comprised over
twenty (27) of George Washington's generals and upwards of 50% of
his troops. These courageous frontiersmen were excellent fighters
who won decisive battles at Kings Mountain, Cowpens, Guilford
Courthouse and Yorktown. Presbyterian ministers were firebrands who
reminded their parishioners of the abuse of English Kings since the
time of the 12th century freedom fighter William Wallace in
Scotland. King George, the British Parliament, and their Loyalist
Generals so feared these Scots-Irish patriots for independence from
the Crown that seventy (70) Presbyterian colonial churches were
burned as "dens of the devil" in fomenting war. Everyone will be
enlightened by the fact that the Westminster Confession of faith
that George Gillespie was instrumental in writing illuminates many
ideals upon which America was founded and was required curriculum
for America's founding fathers who attended Harvard, William and
Mary, Yale and Princeton. The catechisms were the most widely read
publication second to the Bible. Listed are suggested
Constitutional Amendments to control the corruptions of today's
Congress. Obviously, the Scots-Irish colonial pioneers of democracy
who were such visionaries and refused to ratify the Constitution,
due to lack of controls over the Congress and President, would
insist on similar controls.
