Day 11: Our Lives Our Fortunes Our Sacred Honor
Watch this video to learn about the 56 men -and their tremendous sacrifices- who signed the Declaration of Independence.
Assignment:
1. Think about the sacrifices made by these men and write down (make comment on this site) one that impressed you. Why did this impress you?
2. Why were these men (and the women they were married to) so willing to sacrifice their "lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor"?

ReplyDelete1. How they got shot by a steel bullet. I saw this in a lot of movies.
2. They were willing to die to bring peace.
griffin: many men lost their homes and money/ they were willing to have that done for peace
ReplyDeleteLogan: That one of them had to leave his dying wife and his 13 children only to come back after the war to find that he had nothing left. They were willing to lose it all for liberty because liberty is much more important than security.
ReplyDeleteThe men were willing to sacrifice their lives to have freedom in the country. This impresses me because some people in the world are selfish and rude so they would not do this. The men and women were willing to sacrifice their "lives, their fortunes and their sacred honor" because they want freedom in our country. I am so thankful for this because men and women sacrificed their lives and their homes for me and this country.
ReplyDeleteThe above was from Morgan. This is Jack.
ReplyDeleteI learned that most of the men lost their homes and they sacrificed their lives to have freedom. I am grateful to live in this wonderful country.
