have you ever wondered what happened to the 56 men who signed the declaration of independence?.

five were imprisoned by the british as traitors and tortured before they died.. twelve had their homes ransacked and burned.. two lost their sons serving in the revolutionary army; another had two sons captured.. nine of the 56 fought and died from wounds or hardships of the revolutionary war.. they signed and they pledged their lives, their fortunes, and their sacred honor.. what kind of men were they?.

twenty-four were lawyers and jurists.

i had not known about this story until today, but was shocked that any of it unfolded.

by RollerDave in
1. jw
2. friends
i just got a call from my jw mom asking if i was watching the news.. i'm like, "no, what's up?".

i'm imagining something must really be up, like we invaded some more countries or mushroom clouds over american cities, or maybe somebody famous did something horrible in public, or something.. she tells me 'half of california is burning.'.

i'm like "yeah, it's been doing that for a while now.".
