The Making of America

It is my wish to make this work as realistic and truthful as possible and available to everyone in an effort to make the citizens aware of the sacrifices that our founding fathers and founding mother made to give us our liberty and freedom. But most of all, I want to make Americans aware that we need to become involved if we are to keep building on these principles of freedom and allow all our citizens to enjoy them as we continue to enjoy this countries freedom. We can't continue to just sit back and criticize our leaders for doing nothing. We need to get involved ourselves. If you are conservative, liberal, religious, non-religious, gay, straight, or whatever we all need to get actively involved. It's a country for all of us. And it should be our combined beliefs and opinion that shapes it.

We have a country that was designed by our forefathers to be changed by its citizens through peaceful involvement and demonstration. Let's do that. If we are dissatisfied we need to all take peaceful actions to change and correct these things. If enough people get involved we can change things to the benefit of all of us. It is difficult to say that this country has not been influenced by religions but also difficult to see where there is much Jesus of Nazareth sort of tolerance, love, charity, and selflessness in it or in the people or the government. We are now all, including our religions, driven by fear, greed, and money. If we lose our freedom it will be because we have just sat and let someone else take it away from us by our complacence, stubbornness, and stupidity.

The following rendition is not intended to be a readable connected story. It is rather opinionated notes from the author combined with a series of events and documents in a chronological order that are intended to illustrate the approximant time that events occurred and some of the key documents that may have influenced the making of America.
