Synopsis

Read why the historical account of the 56 Signers of The Declaration of Independence and the story behind the 4th of July are so critically important … before they and the 4th of July are banned from American society.

The urgent need to honor the 56 Signers of The Declaration of Independence came to Douglas MacKinnon, fittingly enough, on the 4th of July.While doing research for a column meant to remind the American people of that date’s critical importance, he came across example
after example of those from the Left and the Far-Left—be they in the mainstream media, activists, or anarchists—calling for not only the “canceling” of the 4th of July, but the continued smearing, censorship, and canceling of our Founding Fathers.

One overriding thought then filled his mind:
“What if they are successful?”

Those who believe such totalitarian censorship could never come to be in the United States of America need only review how quickly and brutally many on the Left were able to create the “Woke Cancel Culture” to silence those they oppose today.

Now they come for Thomas Jefferson, Richard Henry Lee, Benjamin Franklin and others who courageously signed The Declaration of Independence.

That document and those men created our history. History which should never bebent, twisted, censored, or banned to fit any ideological narrative. If it is good, let us praise it. If it is bad, let us condemn it and learn from it. But let us never twist, censor, or cancel it.

And yet, more and more followers of the Left want to do just that. As they control the media, academia, entertainment, science, and medicine … who is to stop them?

Time is of the essence. We must find our voices. The 56 left the blueprint: Liberty.

(2) Those who identify with the people, have confidence in them, cherish and consider them as the most honest and......more

Goodreads review by Melanie on May 27, 2022

This book was very interesting. There were a lot of names I had not heard of before which makes me question how the quality of the education I received. Each signer had his own chapter which was between 4 to 10 minutes long. It was a great overview of all the signers and it peaked my interest in lea......more

Goodreads review by Nick on July 30, 2022

I did enjoy this one for the fact that there’s not a lot out there for some of the signers. So this is a great quick one to learn about some of them. I may not agree with everything he says in prologue but it doesn’t stop me from enjoying the book. Favorite quote: “The only real security that you can......more

Educational and inspiring MacKinnon provides fascinating education and insight into men who laid all they had on the line for forming this new nation. It's so easy for those who never learned the history, true history, of our nation and what's behind the true exceptionalism that has rescued so many f......more

I just got done listening to this book for a class and it’s very informative of the signers and a pretty good source of history. I was not a big fan of the first couple chapters because it seem like nothing but politics and all I wanted to do was hear about the person. But the politics calmed down b......more
