In the 1700’s, King George III sent a letter to the Continental Congress which offered the following:

Peace
Trade
Consent to British forces in the new territory
British aid for debt
American self-rule, but under the Crown
American representation in Parliament

We said HELL NO! And you know the rest of the story…

Happy Independence Day! Freedom can be lost in one generation. Let’s preserve it at any and all costs.

This flag is on display in the United States Smithsonian Museum. It is the flag that inspired Francis Scott Key to write The Star Spangled Banner.
