Are Americans Really Different?

Timothy Baldwin / Liberty Defense League:
Americans have historically prided themselves in being different from all other nations of the earth. Stemming from our independent lives and station from Great Britain-even while being politically subject to it-the foundation of America rested upon the ideal of independence, individualism, self-determination and freedom. A massive and motivating Secession Movement from Great Britain took only a few years to brew throughout the colonies, given only minor usurpations from their mother country, comparably speaking. The colonies' sovereignty was deemed established not upon the winning of the war but upon their unilateral declaration: "these united Colonies ARE, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States." Once their sovereignty was confirmed by the Treaty of Paris of 1783, constitutions were formed upon the American ideal of choice, reflection and wisdom, knowing that the Natural Law principles of self-government proclaimed in the Declaration of Independence were the undergirding foundation and were eternal in application to every generation.
