Ok, so where do we begin then? Who can tell me how and why America was founded? What was the intent of the majority of the original inhabitants of America? What were the first reasons for settlers traveling from Europe, mostly, to inhabit this land? What were the first 'charters' or allowances of the rulers over those settlers as they left their homelands, endorsed by governments for a purpose and 'inked' in documents as their mission, intention in the new land? How did these charters become the original documents by which this land was developed, under law, and became the basis for what America was and was to remain?
Very interesting questions, hmmm?
Most of us learned about these things when we were in gradeschool. I am 57 years old and clearly remember the stories of Christopher Columbus, the Puritans, the Pilgrims, Miles Standish, the Declaration of Indendence, Revolutionary War and 1776 as well as the Constitutional Congress, Federalist Papers, Amendments to the Constitution and the development of our country from the early 1800's to the present day.
However, many of you are not my age and may not even remember your American History from gradeschool. Let's see what meaning this information may have of relevance to our national focus, er, our Godly focus that leads to national focus.....
"The battle today is over lordship. This issue of politics today is the issue of sovereignty. Who is the lord of all of life to whom man must give his total allegiance, Christ or Caersar? The answer to this question is the difference between liberty and slavery, justice and tyranny." Volume 1, God and Government, Gary Demar, page x.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certan unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Declaration of Independence....
This is a good beginning... stay tuned... please contribute your ideas.
Love you
Bill/Dad

Great Dad! I have to say those books you and mom gave Calla on how America was founded have been read cover to cover. I want my kids to know the real intent of our country. I love you and thank you for sharing. BTW... you can tell you were an english major in college.. but you spelled Caesar wrong. :-)
