The revolution against the tyranny of the British Empire established the United States of America. It was based on a radical philosophy of government, one based on individual liberty. The government of the United Stares has become much worse than that which the prompted the colonists to action. This work explains their ideals, motivations, and justifications for taking up arms in defense of liberty and the methods with which they attacked tyranny. But it is much more than history, for I seek to apply their philosophy and tactics to a much needed rebellion against our current despotism. Liberty is not a gift bestowed by government, it is the possession of the strong and courageous. This is written for them.
