[QUOTE="rawhide, post: 2888777, member: 3448"] Historian David Kennedy wrote of the minority Patriots that "Seldom have so few done so much for so many." They were willing to sacrifice life and fortune for the preservation of rights and implementation of self government. Unlike most politicians today they were willing to put all on the line. George Washington leading the attack on Trenton and a charge at Princeton and later President James Madison (not usually thought of as a warrior) with only two dueling pistols rode out to meet the British army marching toward Washington, D.C. Then the thousands of farmers and tradesman that endured winters with no socks and little food while their families and businesses suffered. American independence changed the world.
