The "Penman of the Revolution" on the Path to Liberty

Author of the most widely-read documents on American liberty until the publication of Common Sense in 1776, John Dickinson’s work earned him the nickname “Penman of the Revolution.” Born Nov 13, 1732 - his writings are filled with principles and strategies we’d do well to follow much more today.

Ironically, this should be a quote in opposition to government-run schools. “Freedom can exist only in the society of knowledge. Without learning, men are incapable of knowing their rights.” -Benjamin Rush

Even though many people credit Thomas Jefferson for the natural rights principles in the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson himself pointed out that he didn’t invent those ideas. Instead, he wrote, he had adopted the “harmonizing sentiments of the day,” views which were widely accepted and understood. From 1764 to 1776, Americans produced a rich series of pamphlets, resolutions and speeches which he based those principles on. https://blog.tenthamendmentcenter.com/2020/12/natural-rights-liberty-doesnt-need-a-government-permission-slip/

Seems like a pretty good goal to us.
