We spent quite a bit of time in the National Archives, partly to get away from the cold and partly because we're both history lovers. I just finished a 9 wk study on the Revolutionary War and am currently teaching US government in my SS class. Seeing these documents that are the foundations to the freedoms that we enjoy today, was very inspiring. As I stood there and looked, I wondered if our forefathers know that over 250 years later, the words that they penned would still hold such value and importance.
Left- The Magna Carta
Right-
The Declaration of
Independence
