“Have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence?
Five signers were captured by the British as traitors, and tortured before they died. Twelve had their homes ransacked and burned. Two lost their sons in the revolutionary army, another had two sons captured. Nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.
They signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.
What kind of men were they? Twenty-four were lawyers and jurists. Eleven were merchants, nine were farmers and large plantation owners, men of means, well educated. But they signed the Declaration of Independence knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured.
Carter Braxton of Virginia, a wealthy planter and trader, saw his ships swept from the seas by the British Navy. He sold his home and properties to pay his debts, and died in rags.
Thomas McKeam was so hounded by the British that he was forced to move his family almost constantly. He served in the Congress without pay, and his family was kept in hiding. His possessions were taken from him, and poverty was his reward.
Vandals or soldiers or both, looted the properties of Ellery, Clymer, Hall, Walton, Gwinnett, Heyward, Ruttledge, and Middleton.
At the battle of Yorktown, Thomas Nelson Jr., noted that the British General Cornwallis had taken over the Nelson home for his headquarters. The owner quietly urged General George Washington to open fire. The home was destroyed, and Nelson died bankrupt.
Francis Lewis had his home and properties destroyed. The enemy jailed his wife, and she died within a few months.
John Hart was driven from his wife’s bedside as she was dying. Their 13 children fled for their lives. His fields and his gristmill were laid to waste. For more than a year he lived in forests and caves, returning home to find his wife dead and his children vanished. A few weeks later he died from exhaustion and a broken heart. Norris and Livingston suffered similar fates.
Such were the stories and sacrifices of the American Revolution. These were not wild eyed, rabble-rousing ruffians. They were soft-spoken men of means and education. They had security, but they valued liberty more. Standing tall, straight, and unwavering, they pledged: ‘For the support of this declaration, with firm reliance on the protection of the divine providence, we mutually pledge to each other, our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.’”

@__soulll @FootsDaKing @DemBoysGoated @unphACEd @ThatBrandenGuy ….then why does he average a holding penalty every game.

@FootsDaKing @J_mer22 @DemBoysGoated @unphACEd @ThatBrandenGuy “Connor Williams 2.0” is the most casual comment ever, Connor held because he got blown off the line, something that doesn’t happen to this guy

@DemBoysGoated @unphACEd @ThatBrandenGuy @FootsDaKing Then why is he holding every game against college players
English

@J_mer22 @unphACEd @ThatBrandenGuy @FootsDaKing Connor doesn’t have the build Smith does. He’s got a shorter length that required him to punch instead of catching. Smith is a monster at 21

@unphACEd @ThatBrandenGuy @FootsDaKing He also averages a holding penalty every game. Connor Williams 2.0

@ThatBrandenGuy @FootsDaKing A lot of guys on Twitter that have never touched a football field think they know better from watching some film on YouTube

If I’m Jimbo I’m calling the @SEC and asking @SECOfficiating for an explanation. That’s a clear strip well before the whistle and likely a win for @AggieFootball . Just pathetic officiating all night long. @TexAgs @billyliucci
