Friend,
"[The Declaration of Independence] was the first solemn declaration
by a nation of the only legitimate foundation of civil government. It
was the cornerstone of a new fabric, destined to cover the surface of
the globe. It demolished at a stroke, the lawfulness of all
governments founded upon conquest. It swept away all the rubbish of
accumulated centuries of servitude...
". . . It stands, and must for ever stand, alone, a beacon on the
summit of the mountain, to which all the inhabitants of the earth may
turn their eyes for a genial and saving light . . . a light of
salvation and redemption to the oppressed…"
-John Quincy Adams, July 4, 1821
Join us this Friday as our campaign
historian Bob Wesser recounts the exciting history of America's
uniquely positive historic role in the development of the modern
world, something far, far different than we are currently witnessing
today.
NB: This week's symposium will be online only, at the
live-stream linked below.
