Remembering Historical Events in American History Part 2
()
About this ebook
This is the second book in a series in remembering Historic events in American History. There is so many events that this series will help us to remember events that impacted who we are as a country. The subjects are well worth remembering not only for ourselves but to be around for future generations. Our history and the information being presented are important and relate to how our country grew into who we are today.
It is important to remember that the facts in this series of books are what I consider significant but not everything is covered. Where possible I will provide the source of the information but in many cases multiple sites provide information included in this book and others in the series.

Introduction
The topics in this third book in remembering historical events in American history are basic. The focus is on some of the founding principles and events associated with our country since it began over 200 years ago. It is hoped the focus and comments about each of them will help to better focus on what our country really represents not what is being portrayed today. We must reflect on the topics in this book as they are basic to our continued existence as a country.
Chapter 1- The Mayflower Compact
Below is the complete content of the Mayflower Compact that was significant with respect to those individuals who came to our country. Comments about the content will be provided at the end.
In the name of God, Amen. We, whose names are underwritten, the loyal subjects of our dread Sovereigne Lord, King James, by the grace of God, of Great Britaine, France and Ireland king, defender of the faith, etc. having undertaken, for the glory of God, and advancement of the Christian faith, and honour of our king and country, a voyage to plant the first colony in the Northerne parts of Virginia, doe by the presents solemnly and mutually in the presence of God and one of another, covenant and combine
Body politick, for our better ordering and preservation, and furtherance of the ends aforesaid; and by virtue hereof to entacte, constitute, and frame such just and equall laws,
ordinance, acts, constitutions and offices, from time to time, as shall be thought most meet and convenient for the general good of the Colonie unto which we promise all due submission and obedience. In witness whereof we have hereunder subscribed our names at Cape-Codd the 11 of November, in the year of the raigne of our soverigne lord King James, of England, France and Ireland, the eighteenth, and of Scotland the fiftie-fourth, anno Dom. 1620

As identified above the principle included in the content of the Mayflower Compact was the basic structure of a government. It was the first document that created a structure of government for citizens of the colony identified to accept as witnessed by the signatures of the individuals who signed the compact. We as individuals in this day and age by our votes elect representatives and senators not only at the federal level but state and local levels. These individuals are to make decisions in the best interest of the government structure for which they have been elected.
Chapter 2 Give Me Liberty Or Give Me Death
Patrick Henry, March 23, 1775.
No man thinks more highly than I do of the patriotism, as well as abilities, of the very worthy gentlemen who have just addressed the House. But different men often see the same subject in different lights; and, therefore, I hope it will not be thought disrespectful to those gentlemen if, entertaining as I do opinions of a character very opposite to theirs, I shall speak forth my sentiments freely and without reserve. This is no time for ceremony. The question before the House is one of awful moment to this country. For my own part, I consider it as nothing less than a question of freedom or slavery; and in proportion to the magnitude of the subject ought to be the freedom of the debate. It is only in this way that we can hope to arrive at truth, and fulfill the great responsibility which we hold to God and our country. Should I keep back my opinions at such a time, through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty of treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings.
Mr. President, it is natural to man to indulge in the illusions of hope. We are apt to shut our eyes against a painful truth, and listen to the song of that siren till she transforms us into beasts. Is this the part of wise men, engaged in a great and arduous struggle for liberty? Are we disposed to be of the number of those who, having eyes, see not, and, having ears, hear not, the things which so nearly concern their temporal salvation? For my part, whatever anguish of spirit it may cost, I am willing to know the whole truth; to know the worst, and to provide for it.
I have but one lamp by which my feed are guided, and that is the lamp of experience. I know of no way of judging of the future but by the past. And judging by the past, I wish to know what there has been in the conduct of the British ministry for the last ten years to justify those hopes with which gentlemen have been pleased to solace themselves and the house. Is it that insidious smile with which our petition has been lately received? Trust it or not, sir; it will prove a snare to your feed. Suffer not yourselves to be betrayed with a kiss. Ask yourselves how this gracious reception of our petition comports with those warlike preparations which cover our waters and darken our land. Are fleets and armies necessary to a work of love and reconciliation? Have we shown ourselves so unwilling to be reconciled that force must be called in to win back our love? Let us not deceive ourselves, sir. These are the implements of war and subjugation; the last arguments to which kings resort. I ask gentlemen, sir, what means this martial array, if its purpose be not to force us to submission? Can gentlemen assign any other possible motive for it? Has Great Britain any enemy, in this quarter of the world, to call for all this accumulation of navies and armies? No, sir, she has none. They are meant for us; they can be meant for no other. They are sent over to bind and rivet upon us those chains which the British ministry have been so long forging. And what have we to oppose to them? Shall we try argument? Sir, we have been trying that for the last ten years. Have we anything new to offer upon the subject? Nothing. We have been held the subject up in every light of which it is capable; but it has been all in vain. Shall we resort to entreaty and humble supplication? What terms shall we find which have not been already exhausted? Let us not, I beseech you, sir, deceive ourselves. Sir we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now ourselves. Sir, we have done everything that could be done to avert the storm which is now coming on. We have petitioned, we have remonstrated; we have supplicated; we have prostrated ourselves before the throne, and have implored its interposition to arrest the tyrannical hands of the ministry and Parliament. Our petitions have been slighted; our
remonstrances have produced additional violence and insult; our supplications have been disregarded; and we have been spurned, with contempt, from the foot of the throne! In vain, after these things, may we indulge the fond hope of peace and reconciliation. There is no longer any room for hope. If
