Lexington Concord
By Tammy Derouin
I recently purchased a copy of a print depicting the Battle of Lexington. Lexington Concord was described by Ralph Waldo Emerson as the, “shot heard ‘round the world.” The long, agonizing war which would take man out of darkness, giving him control of his future and would secure the blessings of liberty for generations to come, was underway. The American Revolution had begun but The Declaration of Independence had yet to be penned.

The founders knew that signing their names to the Declaration of Independence was a death sentence. They recognized tyranny, having lived through the listed grievances. They understoodthat failure would mean death but victory would mean freedom and independence. Freedom and liberty was worth risking their lives, fortunes and sacred honor.
