Happy Independence Day
Today, July 4th, is the anniversary of America's birthday. We celebrate the historic Declaration of Independence and what the fifty-six signers of that Document all stood for.
In honor of America's birthday, we wanted to challenge you to answer questions about the signers of the Declaration of Independence with two new quizzes from WallBuilders. (Before you take these quizzes, check out our Signers of the Declaration Resource Page.) For example, do you know:
- Which signer was an orphan?
- Who was born in Scotland?
- Which of the US Presidents signed the Declaration?
- How many signers were wounded in battle during the War for Independence?
- Who lost his wife as a result of ill treatment by the British?
Find out the answers to these and more. Check out WallBuilders' new quizzes today and see how much you really know!
As we celebrate this important day in our history, remember all the generations who gave so much for the freedom and prosperity we enjoy -- and let's honor them by preserving all they fought for. As John Adams said:
Posterity! You will never know how much it cost the present generation to preserve your freedom! I hope you will make a good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in Heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it.
Happy Independence Day!
