The Price They Paid

"But the righteous are bold as a lion." Proverbs 28:1

Have you ever wondered what happened to those men who signed the Declaration of Independence? They gave us an independent America ... can we keep it?

What kind of men were they?
24 were lawyers and jurists
11 were merchants
9 were farmers, large plantation owners, men of means, well educated

But, they all signed, knowing full well that the penalty would be death if they were captured! They signed and pledged their lives, fortune and their sacred Honor.

Out of 56 signers:
2 - Became President of the United States
16 - Became Governors
22 - Were not born in the State they represented
5 - Did not sign in August 1776
8 - Were not born in the United States
44 years - Their average age...in 1776
2 - Became Supreme Court Justices
17 - Suffered hardships because of signing the Declaration of Independence.

Always remember this . . . Freedom is never free!
With freedom there always comes responsibility.
Be responsible.
