Download or read book Lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence written by Benson John Lossing and published by Tales End Press. This book was released on 2012-08-06 with total page 453 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The fifty-six signers of America's Declaration of Independence risked their “lives, fortunes, and sacred honor” to found a new country. In this classic work, Benson J. Lossing describes the lives of each of the founding fathers, their greatest achievements, and what impelled them to take such an incredible risk. While some are well known to us – Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, John Hancock – much of the pleasure in this book comes from reading about the lesser-known signers, and about the many challenges they faced throughout their lives in the young United States. Appendices contain Thomas Jefferson's original version of the Declaration, an analysis of its grievances, the subsequent Articles of Confederation and US Constitution, and the offending Stamp Act. This ebook edition includes an active table of contents, reflowable text, and 50 period engravings of the faces and signatures of the signers.

Download or read book The Declaration of Independence written by Carl Lotus Becker and published by Jazzybee Verlag. This book was released on 2017 with total page 219 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In this long essay Becker analyzed the structure, drafting, and philosophy of the Declaration. He recognizes that it was not intended as an objective historical statement of the causes of the Revolution, but merely furnished a moral and legal justification for rebellion. Step by step, the colonists modified their theory to suit their needs. Whenever men become sufficiently dissatisfied with the existing regime of positive law and custom, they will be found reaching out beyond it for the rational basis of what they conceive ought to be. This is what the Americans did in their controversy with Great Britain.

This book was released on 2015-07-17 with total page 382 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Sketches of the Lives of the Signers of the Declaration of Independence: Intended Principally for the Use of Schools The following work has been compiled principally with a view to its introduction into schools, throughout our country. It was believed by the author, that a general knowledge of the distinguished men, whose names are set to the Declaration of Independence, would at all times be considered as desirable by the young and rising generations of the union. That the names and characters of those persons who risked their lives in defence of their country's rights, liberties, and privileges, and under whose counsels its independence was achieved, and established, should be had in remembrance to the latest period of time, will be acknowledged by all. The history of them which has been published, is too voluminous, and too expensive, for a very large proportion of the community; and altogether inconvenient to be used as a reading book for schools. This publication is fixed at so moderate a price, as to be within the reach of all who may wish to put it into the hands of their children, or to introduce it into their families. As such it is submitted to the public. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
