A bit of Revolutionary War history that you likely didn't learn in school.

Thank you so very much for sharing that wonderful video, My Friend.

May God Bless You. and God Bless our Country's Founders, as well as our Country, such as it is.

Charlie the times being the way they are, pastors and priest may need to renew sermons on liberty.

Agreed 100%. I was thinking the exact same thing the whole time, watching the video.

Theodore Roosevelt noted in his history of the Ohio region, that the Methodist preachers who came over the mountains first sermons were with their fists, in they had to beat up the local bullies in this lawless land. Once that was established, the preachers could be found in various callings from preaching sermons, presiding over hangings, and taking up their guns with parched corn, to ride with their flock on punishing raids against Indians or making war on the Empires of Europe.
The American clergy of the revolution and after was one which was active in leading and there was never this suffering at the hands of others unjustly. They were remarkable men who formed America.

The average age was early twenties, and many died prior to 30 in the service of the Lord.

Amen! Well done and oh so true.

Garry-

Really enjoyed the video, Mr Staton. That is good stuff that all should know. I have forwarded this to a bunch of folks, thanks you for putting it up!

Those pastors were definitely another breed. Preach you the Word but knock out your teeth if necessary. I like how pastors of that area had sermons based on current events. Even events of a political nature. I guess that 1954 insertion in the tax code put an end to that.

That was good...
Thanks...
Agree 100%...

That was the plan.
