-John Adams
I had to study politics and war, you know, so my son could have the freedom to study math and philosophy; my son had to study sailing, Commerce and agriculture so that their children and grandchildren have the right to learn painting, poetry and music. —John Adams
(By the way, this passage is from a correspondence between him and his wife Abigail. Abigail is the most literate "Mother" of America, and she and one of John Adams' sons later became On the President of the United States. Abigail's letter to these two Presidents of the United States is also equivalent to "Fu Lei's letter" in the United States.)
Let us declare: freedom does not depend on rewards, rights are born. As justice and justice, history is longer than the government; our ancestors paid their blood and lives for our happiness, democracy and science are not a few noble people high above - NO! NO! The laws given by all things in the universe should also enjoy health and light - living in a house, affording a doctor - no less than the rich and the elite, That is liberty!
1. join or die
On the banner of the title, a snake is cut into 8 sections, and the 8 British colonies are marked in order along the coast:
NE for New England, including
Delaware Delaware,
Massachusetts,
New Hampshire New Hampshire
Rhode Island Rhode Island
Other
NY for New York
NJ for New Jersey New Jersey
P. For Pennsylvania Pennsylvania
M. For Maryland Maryland
V. For Virginia Virginia
NC for North Carolina North Carolina
SC for South Carolina South Carolina
This is consistent with the traditional 13 North American British colonies .
This drawing by Franklin was first published in Pennsylvania Gazette on May 9, 1754.
2. Don't Tread on Me
A entangled rattlesnake attacked, and the snake had to continue the above. With the start of the Revolutionary War, the snake was widely used as a symbol of the colony. In December 1775, Franklin published an article in the Pennsylvania Journal under the pseudonym American Guesser, arguing that the rattlesnake was a symbol of the American spirit. It is said that the Diamondbacks do not take the initiative to attack, and once annoyed, they will never surrender. In the fall of that year, the United States established a navy to defend against British attack and to deliver supplies. The Second Continental Congress convened five companies of Marines to assist the Navy in this task. The flag of these Marines is this rattlesnake, and it reads Don't Tread on Me. This is the original origin of this flag, and then it became widely circulated and became another symbol of the Revolutionary War, which is a later story.
3. What was compromised with South Carolina?
Most states have supported the declaration of independence, and South Carolina is a typical example of "stubbornness". The young representative of South Carolina asked Adams to go out for a private chat, and the two quickly reached a tacit understanding, and the plot was very vague about the expression here. Personally, I think it's not that the screenwriter is deliberately concealing it, or else it wouldn't have mentioned slavery many times in the plot, but that this compromise has been known to everyone in the United States. So what exactly is a compromise?
At South Carolina's request, the text of the Declaration of Independence, drafted by Jefferson, which directly condemned slavery, was deleted. Representatives of the South at the time probably did see immediate abolition of slavery as a threat, so Adams was asked to ensure that other states did not object to the preservation of slavery. Neither Adams nor the South Carolina representative would have imagined that the compromise would be so costly.
Life gives us such a beautiful thing, but one day it will take this thing mercilessly. . . .
Should we be grateful for life, or should we hate it?
