Samuel Adams

 Samuel Adams

Samuel Adams was an individual that favored Democracy and fought against the tyrannical British in the 1770s. Samuel Adams along with John Hancock were two individuals that favored independence from Britain. They were in favor of being independent and self governing. When patriots gathered to discuss the option of independence, Adams and Hancock agreed to support Democracy. 

"We hold that all men are created equal and endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights: life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness."- Thomas Jefferson

Thomas Jefferson would write the Declaration of Independence due to his amazing writing style. After writing the Declaration of Independence, it was approved and multiple individuals including Hancock and Adams signed the parchment. When the British found out, they sent an army to arrest Samuel Adams and John Hancock, yet the brave and courageous Paul Revere notified them that the British were seeking to aprehend them. 

Paul Revere risked his life to help his American bretheren and woke up Samuel Adams and John Hancock in the night. Samuel Adams and John Hancock were able to avoid capture, and American militia members defended themselves from the British. When Paul Revere was about to be captured, American militia forces shot at British forces and scattered them. Paul Revere was able to persevere with bravery. 

Samuel Adams would help fight against tyranny and described how Democracy is favored. The Founding Fathers of 1776 were impressive because they allowed us to know that Democracy is more impressive than socialism. America thrived because of Democracy. We learn that America began to improve because individuals were rewarded based on merit, discipline, empathy, and hard work, and not based on favoritism, sycophantry, envy, and corruption. We learn that Thomas Jefferson became president of the US. 

Paul Revere

 Paul Revere

Paul Revere was an American Patriot in the 1770s. Revere was part of the American Revolution (a true Revolution and not persecution). Revere is denoted as having bravery and courage to have warned Samuel Adams and John Hancock that the English were seeking to go after rebels including Adams and Hancock for signing the Declaration of Independence in 1776. When Revere learned that the British had incoming ships, he rowed through a river undetected by British ships, galloped through the countryside, and yelled out the indication that the British were in America. Revere went to Lexington and woke up Adams and Hancock. The United States decided to be independent from England because they were self-sufficient and were being taxed without representation. 

England had decided to exact taxes arbitrarily on the Americans due to the manner that they were industrious. The American Revolutionaries did not want to be taxed arbitrarily and decided to declare their independence from tyrannical England. The English were looking to arrest and remove Hancock and other individuals who supported the American call for freedom.

Once Paul Revere learned that the British were in America, he warned the American Revolutionaries that the "regulars were out!" and that the British were about. To this, Revere had courage despite knowing that if he was captured, he would have been charged with treason. Despite that, Revere warned the American militia and Revolutionaries describing the real American Patriotism that cares about their land and their bretheren. Revere risked his life to warn his American bretheren of opposition and is regarded in history as a real hero. 

Revere after warning his fellow bretheren was almost captured by British troops on almost reaching the town of Concord. When the British had surrounded Revere, shots fired out from American militia muskets and the British took off leaving Revere unharmed and uncaptured. Revere knew that the shots fired were from American militia members. The American militia defended Revere and also repelled the British at Concord. Despite not having an army and not being the world power at that time, the American militia was able to beat the British troops and obtain freedom. Paul Revere is considered an example of American bravery and true fraternity who allowed fellow Americans to persevere despite opposition. (We can persevere reminding ourselves of amazing individuals who were brave and persevere with integrity. We can persevere trusting in GOD Almighty and avoiding socialism.)

Paul Revere's Story is Amazing While Benedict Arnold's Was Not

Paul Revere was an amazing individual who was able to tell John Hancock and Samuel Adams that the British were attempting to go against the Americans who were for independence. While Paul Revere was an American hero, Benedict Arnold was a treacherous rat snake. Benedict Arnold betrayed his country in order to help the British. Arnold was a capable soldier who was resentful and felt that he needed to have more importance. Arnold decided to help the British by taking a £20,000 bribe and offering to give information on West Point so that the British could attack the American forces. Arnold was found out by the Americans and left for England. 

Arnold then lived in England where the British also did not trust him. Arnold was a rat snake who became bitter and resentful. The American Revolution succeeded in obtaining independence from England and with amazing stories from Paul Revere, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, and Alexander Hamilton. The story of treacherous Benedict Arnold was not so impressive. Arnold betrayed his country because his wife was British and needed to support her lavish lifestyle. (We can be far apart from treacherous rat snake socialists who are very similar to Benedict Arnold. We know that socialists do not care about loyalty, independence, honor, and valor. We can avoid such rat snakes. For all intensive purposes, Benedict Arnold was a socialist.)

Figures of History and Individualism is meant to remind us that there are good people despite the lies of the snake. While the snake says that "everyone sins and is evil," the reality is that there have been and there are individuals who are good, positive, practice integrity, and hate evil. We can persevere practicing civil disobedience, pacifism, and worshiping GOD Almighty above everything of this temporary and imperfect world. We can persist acknowledging that GOD Almighty is everything to us and deny the lies of the snake.
