American History - The Revolutionary War

Sometimes people forget that in order to get freedom we have to fight for it. A famous hip hop group said it best "We have to fight for our right to party." Do you know who that group was? For one group to get along with another they have to earn Respect/Trust one another. From that you will get to share some responsibilities, then earn some privileges which in turn will create some independence and eventual freedom.
As people, we forget what it means to be free? Are we really free in america or do we think we are? I know I am free and I will die trying to keep my freedom and everyone else in this country. Without it we don't have a future, and with no future, we can't be successful.
Our Forefathers were right, Freedom is our right as human beings. Without it, we are just dogs sibjugated to a master's orders. WE ARE FREE!!!!!!!!!!!
