  223 Don't Tread on Me

"Don't Tread on Me" were the words on an early flag of the United States. Though the founding revolutionaries were virtually on trial for treason, they did not tremble before that treacherous 1 monarch 2 George III. Showing no trepidation 3, they fought in the trenches 4, showing tremedous bravery. Their treasure .. bravery produced strong tremors 5 and began a trend of revolution that's soon trickled 6 into all the colonies. Revolution became transient in the minds of the people. From his trove 7 of power in Britain, the king showed himself to be a mighty 8 trespasser 9 as he trespassed 10 upon the rights of the Americans. The colonies would not pay tribute to him so long as he treated them as a trivial tributary 11. Relying on tribal 12 notions of warfare 13, they acted as a tribe, going anywhere and pulling any trigger in order to let freedom ring.

The sad part is, though there is Shalby Foot's famous trilogy of US Civil War, there is, as of yet, no counterpart series that treats the American revolutionary war. There are a few good books written about what was undoubtedly 14 the USA's greatest moment. The problem is length. Whereas, most books about American history could be trimmed. Revolutionary war books need to be longer. We could use more than a one-volume account of the war that made the founding of America possible. The reasons are legion, but the most important is that without an indepth history the slogans of war will be made to seem trite 15. This is no trifling 16 matter. Looking back at the founding principles can only instill pride in the heart and a boost to the intellect. Some professor needs to take a multi-volume look at this most important aspect of history.
