To all my dearest fans,

The main purpose of this passage was to learn about the background of the men who signed the Declaration of Independence. By learning about the different backgrounds of these historical figures, I learned how much these men gave up for their country. "Their courage and determination, their commitment to what they called the Cause of America, were almost beyond our imagining. To sign your name to the Declaration of Independence was to declare yourself as a traitor to the British Crown." (p.59). I agree with this sentence because these men gave up their own lives to sacrafice for freedom and independence of this country. If there is one thing this article taught me, it was that no matter what you do, we are all still Americans. I can connect this to my life because I can connect this to the men and women serving in the army because they are also willing to sacrafice their own lives for the soul purpose of keeping this country free.
