Snopes dispels "THE PRICE THEY PAID" essay
 

Every 4th of July, someone sends this out or posts it somewhere...

"Essay outlines the fates of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. "

While it makes interesting reading, it appears to be grossly exaggerated...

Snopes has their views on it posted on their site -

Interesting, I usually check these things out, but this particular one I never have. Good to read the truth as it is known ;)

Thanks Postino

When I first started reading the Snopes article I thought it was just another piece of revisionist history drivel. The stuff the progressives like to use to demean our heritage,but it had a good patriotic ending.:rockon:

Old info, but good to bring up.

Yeah, like those damn "Progessives" on the Texas State School Board.

Haven't seen any Progessives try to revise our history, or demean our heritage.

On the other hand...
