Reactions to story from Masson’s Blog - A Citizen’s Guide to Indiana
Fourth of July

Reposting from last year, but I thought it was a good iteration of my traditional Declaration of Independence post. Two hundred and thirty-one thirty-two years ago, some Virginia planters with dissonant views of liberty (”How is it that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers of negroes?” - Samuel Johnson) got together with some Boston smugglers and rabble rousers who had lost respect for their leader. And, thank goodness they did. They founded a nation based on a radical notion that all men are created equal. They were audacious enough to declare this truth “self-evident.” Think of what a departure this was.
