The patriotic minority

If you feel like we are in the minority, take heart. So were our forefathers.

“The brutal truth is that only a select minority of the American colonials attached themselves to the cause of independence with a spirit of selfless devotion. These were the dedicated souls who bore the burden of battle and the risks of defeat; these were the freedom-loving patriots who deserved the gratitude and approbation of generations yet unborn. Seldom have so few done so much for so many.”

From The American Pageant, D.C. Heath and Company, 1956, pp. 102-103.
