The pilgrims were pretty freakin dope. I mean these dudes and ladies ventured over across the Atlantic to start new settlements in a brand new world. Truly, for them it was brand new. And they had no idea what to expect. But they said, "Yo let's do this". True story. That's a direct quote.
Seriously, and they went from this little group at Plymouth Rock to an incredible group of colonies, which then came together to stand up for and fight for what they believed would be a great democracy, and drew up a Declaration of Independence to pursue their dreams for a new nation. They were against heavy odds with the British Empire, but the Revolutionary War was a success. And from this fledgling of a nation with a big, unknown frontier awaiting discovery, we have grown to the country that we are today. The country which connects so many others in our world, share so many unique cultures, is an economic and military power, and actively contributes the dream for a better and brighter tomorrow. It truly is an underdog story, which has gone from the planting of its first roots in new soil to the home of opportunity and wonder that people seek to be a part of.
I'm so proud to be an American, and so proud of the journey this nation has taken to become what it is today. It truly is the story of an underdog...that earned it's way to the top.
