Reflecting on Freedom: What Abraham Lincoln Might Say the Week After July 4th As we reflect on the celebrations of July 4th, it is fitting to consider what our great President Abraham Lincoln might say during this week of remembrance and gratitude. Lincoln, a beacon of wisdom and compassion, would remind us of the enduring principles that define our nation. He would speak of the sacrifices made for our freedom, urging us to honor the legacy of those who fought for our independence and those who strive for equality and justice. Lincoln would emphasize that the true strength of our nation lies in our commitment to liberty and our willingness to stand united in the face of adversity. Lincoln would likely remind us that the promise of America is one of inclusivity and opportunity. He would call upon us to continue the work of building a nation where everyone, regardless of their background, has the chance to pursue their dreams. As we look to the future, let us draw inspiration from Lincoln’s words and deeds. Let us strive to create a more perfect union, where the ideals of freedom, equality, and justice are upheld for all. In the spirit of Lincoln, let us remember that our greatest achievements come when we work together as one nation, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. #justiceandequality #freedomforall #unitedwestand #eduaction

Cheers to July 4th, 2024, as we celebrate America's 248th birthday as an independent nation! The Declaration of Independence, primarily crafted by Thomas Jefferson, was more than just a statement—it was a bold justification of the American Revolution. It outlined grievances against King George III and British rule, setting the stage for a fight against oppression. The brave men who signed this document knew they risked being charged with treason, a crime punishable by death. Despite the overwhelming odds, they pressed forward with unwavering resolve. Adopted in 1776, the Declaration was read to the public across the developing nation. It wasn't until 1783 that the Thirteen Colonies achieved victory and gained independence from the most powerful military force of that time, becoming the United States of America. General George Washington, undeterred by the hardships his poorly armed and clothed men faced, demonstrated unparalleled strategic brilliance. Leading an army that included many who had come straight from prison, he secured victory against the elite British military. Today, we honor the unwavering courage and relentless determination that forged our nation. Let this be a reminder to keep pushing forward for what we believe is right. Stand firm in your convictions, and the spirit of resilience will always guide you. At times, the concept of what it means to be an American citizen can be confusing. Whether you have a love for the United States or struggle with the thought, the ideas behind the Declaration of Independence and the spirit of the American Revolution show us with a strategic plan, determination and perseverance, anything can be won. Never forget that!!!

Happy 4th of July! Today, the United States celebrates Independence Day, a significant holiday that commemorates the country's freedom. One of the most iconic symbols associated with this festive occasion is the American flag, also known as the Stars and Stripes or Old Glory. The flag has a rich history deeply rooted in American culture and holds immense significance. The American flag's origins can be traced back to June 14, 1777, when the Second Continental Congress officially adopted its design. The flag consisted of thirteen alternating red and white stripes, representing the original thirteen colonies, along with a blue field adorned with thirteen white stars, symbolizing a new constellation. As the United States expanded over the years, the flag evolved to incorporate additional stars, each representing a new state. Beyond its visual representation, the American flag carries profound symbolism. It serves as a powerful emblem of national unity, identity, and pride and embodies the fundamental principles upon which the nation was built, such as freedom, democracy, and resilience. #4thofjuly #independenceday #americanflag

248 years ago the United States reinstated a core principle and a central pillar of our western civilization. The Declaration that “All Men Are Created Equal” – made July 4th, 1776 one of most celebrated days in our recent history. This is when the Second Continental Congress unanimously adopted the Declaration of Independence announcing the colonies’ separation from Great Britain. By marking their victory, the United States hailed the highest human virtues of respect, equality and inclusion, while waving the flag of liberties and chanting the songs of freedom. They showed to the humanity the importance of what is divine in the life of humans – a country called home, built on solid principles, on open minds and generous debate of ideas. The American Dream was watered with hard work and a spirit of vivid competition. Barely anyone has better featured that than President Ronald Reagan who said “We are a nation of freedom, living under God, believing all citizens must have the opportunity to grow, create wealth, and build a better life for those who follow. If we live up to those moral values, we can keep the American dream alive for our children and our grandchildren, and America will remain mankind’s best hope.” The obsession for Freedom, the principles of Dignity and Respect, the core value of Hard Work and the invincible desire to win any obstacle that blurs these pillars – has made United States a model to follow and a friend to all. God Bless America! Happy Independence Day!

They fought for America’s freedom in the Revolutionary War as Black men in the 1700s but couldn’t even attend the university that was in their hometown at the time. In this cemetery on Harvard’s campus (or a block away) are the graves of two Black men who fought in the American Revolution, Cato Freeman and Neptune Frost. Little is known about Frost, but Cato was born Cato Stedman, after his enslaver. He gained his freedom in 1775 and wasted no time enlisting in the Revolutionary War for independence, which lasted from 1775-1783. He would go on to fight for more than 6 years. Afterwards, he moved to Rhode Island, got married and settled on 100 acres of land he was given for being a veteran. He eventually moved back to Cambridge amid financial problems towards the end of his life. Ironically, Rhode Island is also where the 1st Rhode Island Regiment was formed, which was a mostly Black unit. This regiment was established because many White men in Rhode Island didn’t want to fight. Oftentimes, when White men who didn’t want to fight, they’d hire Black men to take their position. Black men were promised freedom on both sides, but over 20,000 fought for the British, whereas 8,000 fought on the Patriot side. And we see how that promise was broken. There is no United States of America, American dream, or so-called democracy without Black people, not just because of our slave labor, but also because we risked our life in that war, because we believed we’d be granted freedom as a collective… but we weren’t. So, like Frederick Douglass would say nearly 70 years after this war concluded, what to the American Slave is the Fourth of July? Or better yet, what to the Black American is the fourth of July? 🚨Check the comments for resources! #blackhistory #harvard #harvarduniversity #racism #slavery #fourthofjuly #ushistory #cambridge #massachusetts #independenceday #4thofjuly #freedom #americanrevolution #dei #antiracism

I support President Biden 100%, although I do not always agree with his policies. Every American should be concerned about recent developments by SCOTUS aimed to reverse decades of hard work on the environment, civil rights, criminal law, and America's democracy. Each of us has a duty to use our "megaphones" to bring the recommendations expressed in this POST to the attention of those who can counsel and advise President Joe Biden, in actions he can take now, as OFFICIAL ACTS that would further protect, defend, and shore up the Constitution from further attack and erosion fromAmerica's domestic enemies. I believe that JOE BIDEN is sincere when he says he is committed to doing what is best for America and Americans. If, in fact, he truly believes in the OATH OF OFFICE he took to "defend and protect the CONSTITUTION of the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA" against foreign and domestic enemies, then HE HAS ONE CHOICE. A CHOICE that MUST be taken immediately if America is to survive as a country that respects the RULE of LAW. President Biden MUST use newly vested powers of the Presidency as enumerated by SCOTUS, to "protect and defend" the US CONSTITUTION and the rule of law in America. I am going to be 70 years old on July 11th of this year and have never despaired as much for America as I do right now. I am confident President Biden CANNOT wait until November to take action. At least two of our democratic institutions (Republicans in Congress and SCOTUS) are FAILING AMERICA, and we are on the cusp of losing 240 years of liberty, freedom and the very foundations of our republic as expressed and incorporated into our founding documents by the MAGNA CARTA. If PRESIDENT BIDEN does not use his new powers (OFFICIAL ACTS) to "Protect and Defend the US Constitution", then America will be lost and all his years of public service will have been for naught, flushed down the toilet, along with America's freedoms! If President BIDEN does not use his new powers pursuant to "official acts" to intervene to "DEFEND AND PROTECT THE CONSTITUTION", then I am afraid, he will be remembered as just another one of the cast members who NEGLECTED his duty to America and its constitution, and will be no different from those who seek to destroy our nation from within. DEMOCRATS should encourage PRESIDENT BIDEN to use the new powers vested in the Presidency by SCOTUS, to do WHATEVER IT TAKES to DEFEND and PROTECT the Constitution of the United States. Those who clearly see TRUMP as a "clear & present danger " to America, know full well that TRUMP will use the new powers of the Presidency as conferred by SCOTUS, for self-serving interests and to dismantle 240 years of liberty and freedom. A recent interview with a Presidential historian presented a well founded case about the "clear and present" THREAT to America's National Security that TRUMP and SCOTUS represent, should Trump be elected in 2024. This is my personal opinion and not that of Veteran Housing Corp.
My annual reminder of what the British did to revolutionaries who failed… in 1798, they flogged, tortured, hanged and decapitated John Murphy in Ireland for leading a rebellion against the British Crown, then burned his corpse in a barrel of tar and impaled his head on a spike as a warning to others contemplating resistance. When fifty-six men, from Benjamin Franklin, age 70, to Edward Rutledge, age 26, openly signed a “Declaration of Independence” on July 4, 1776, and publicly pledged their "Lives, [their] Fortunes and [their] sacred Honor" to the undertaking, they understood the full consequences of failure. Seven years later, and after a war that saw five times the per capita casualties of World War II, our world was ever changed by the emergence of its first great democracy - the United States of America! Thanks to the Founders on this 4th of July, the 248th anniversary of fifty-six incredible acts of individual courage in signing their names to a truly revolutionary document!

Remember this when facing the new corporate plutocratic owners of America. The 1% are a self declared aristocracy waging war on democracy and they’re winning because the people are misinformed, divided and not fighting back. If you thought King George III was a problem this new aristocracy has better weapons and is far more brutal. At least in feudal times there was noblesse oblige, today there is no such courtesy. How does one defend against an enemy that uses the leverage of ownership, economic power and manipulation of policy, laws, and information to confuse and divide the population, seize control of the state and enslave its people? America doesn’t need a civil war it needs a united revolution to win back democracy and the American dream from the oligarchs, dynastic family’s and corporate elites who see themselves as Royalty entitled to authoritarian power. This July 4th please visit the national archives and founders online, read the early documents of America’s formation and think about what America represents. I’m not American but when I read these documents I fell in love with America. My favorite is John Adams “Thoughts on Government”. The freedom and constitutional values America was built on are precious, please remember this, put aside your partisan differences and divisive wedge issues and work together as one people under God to protect it from a common enemy. In Solidarity ❤️🩹🇺🇸🇨🇦 The National Archive —> archives.gov Founders Online —> founders.archives.gov
