(59,937 posts)Jefferson's first words of what was certainly one of his greatest (if not his greatest, hands down) piece of writing were:
"When, in the course of human events........"
Jefferson was not writing for some clown to make money on some commercial souvenir-selling enterprise centuries down the road. He was writing to deliver a justification for one of the most daring political moves/movements of the 18th century.
So, I'll be celebrating that very human event that inspired an armed insurrection that by no means was a guaranteed success at its outset. Five long years passed between Philadelphia and Yorktown. Very few of the men who had the guts to sign Jefferson's adventurous declaration lived to enjoy the fruits that the insurrection finally provided. Many, if not most were ruined. There is your courage and your patriotism. Jefferson knew it. Washington knew it. Adams knew it. Republicans will never know it.
