Since the 18th century, 1000's of scholarly books have been written about America's wars. Some of these manuscripts featured economic dynamics, others military tactics or long term strategies, still others accredited victory to the brilliance and character of generalship, or to the individual heroics in the heat of combat. Or, to a particular battle unexpectedly won. Many of these victories must be attributed to the wisdom of the socio/politics of freely elected leaders. Most all of these writings alluded the human cravings for freedom. Other than conventional history, this one of its kind book, Defending God's Gift of Freedom, will bring to light the religious/spiritual determination of free people who have been energized to fight America's crusades in defense of God's gift of liberty.

CHAPTER 1

God's Gift of Socio/Political Freedom

The American Revolutionary War

America is first and foremost known for pursuing socio/ political and religious freedoms. Israel is first and foremost known for its approachable relationship with God and the initial defense of the Moral Order. Over the many centuries of yore, with the protection, providence, guidance, love, freedom, truth, and Divine grace readily made available by God to Man, both these nations, America and Israel, have had to fight many wars of liberty to fulfill the Divine Will.

The search for liberty dates back eight centuries with the scripting of the Magna Charta. It was the most important document scripted of all times as it set the common citizen at odds with the arbitrary rule of despots. King John, who placed his royal seal on the parchment in the county of Surrey, assured its continuity as etched on a monument placed there much later in the year 1957 AD by the American Bar Association. However, almost three millennia before God made the decision that He wanted a set-apart nation, Israel, to carry-forth and defend His moral message to the souls of Planet Earth. Later in history America too became Divinely selected to implement, expand, and endorse God's gift of freedom for all human life and their societies. In the 18th century's USA, a colonial rebellion erupted in the New World just before the defeat of the powerful British Empire in the Revolutionary War. Freedom became an idea that began to germinate in the mindset of pioneers prior to the year 1776 AD. While many academic factors have been proposed by scholars as the decisive causes of this American socio/experiment, it was the spiritual/religious determinate of a confederation of States with Viking DNA from Scandia, Northern Germany, Northern France, and across the British Isles that conquered the mighty armada of King George's England. Inspired with colonial leadership, sea-roaming privateers, ragtail State militia, and an insufficiently financed, Continental Army, the Revolutionary War became the righteous conflict of religious resistance between a ruling class and those seeking God's liberty. In this regard, Thomas Jefferson led the way with his stirring script that gripped the imagination of he common pioneer to seek the Great Cause of freedom. Biblically, again we see that the upright and the weaker of us shall inherit the Earth. No doubt, this American War of Divine freedom only can be explained as a sacred, religious victory for Mankind. God's intervention expressed through an enlightened, Christian leadership, known as the Founding Fathers, set this imaginative, historic stage intended for a political paradigm needed for future, socio/legal freedom. The Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and ultimately the US Constitution became the incentive for this momentous happening. Actually, it was the Saxons in the 10th century that gave rise to the English Common Law. They valued the rule of law over the might of kings. Surely the Magna Charter of England written a hundred years or so later became the socio/political archetype for the democratic ideal, although its principles were not adhered to by the English monarchy and King George III in their attempts to silence, defeat, and exploit the American colonies. The Revolutionary War proved that the cause of liberty will never tolerate or submit helplessly to regal hypocrisy.

In the main, the Founding Fathers, bar none, were deeply religious men who sought out the Christian Lord for guidance and reassurance. Away from home and family, they suffered untreated maladies and loneliness for a stretch of time since they sensed and knew that their political destinies had far-reaching implications and existential meaning. At the very least John Adams, his son, John Quincy, George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison, all avid, devoted readers of Sacred Scripture, knew that God was promoting "freedom" through them as set-apart leaders. No doubt, the Revolutionary victory was a God-sent miracle of spiritual courage; unlike the French Revolution, whereby freedom was based upon human reasoning-alone devoid of the guidance of God. This conceptual difference between these two 18th century Revolutions proved to be vital to the course of history. As a matter of historic fact, throughout America's tenure, the Good Book, the Bible, could be found at the near-reach of any Presidential desk.

At the onset, it was Thomas Jefferson who became the forerunner and champion for the cause of religious freedom. He knew that our understanding of God's Nature, His Will, and His Word must deeply relish the freedom to believe. Jefferson's entire life was devoted to his opposition to all clerically managed, established Churches, especially the entrenched Anglican Church of Virginia. He was an Evangelical who fervently believed that individuals should be allowed to seek God's intimacy in their own time, ways, and means. Both the freedom of religion and political liberty should have no commanding injunction by the tyranny and one-party outlook of a State or religious denomination. In this regard, Jefferson drafted both the Declaration of Independence and the Virginian Statue for Religious Freedom that summarized the rights of Man as coming from God not "political or clerical Man." As never seen before, these two "freedom documents" had the potential to advance the political, intellectual, and spiritual growth of America, the Western World, and universally, Global Mankind. In the 21st century, the cry for freedom can be heard ringing throughout the Globe. However it took the personal sacrifices, national treasure, and much bloodshed of the American Revolution to create the intellectual and spiritual demeanor needed for political rights to emerge out of God's gift of freedom for the common citizen. The Christian principle of both private and public sacrificial service can be readily observed troughout Jefferson's political career when at twenty-five years of age he was elected to the House of Burgesses in the State of Virginia; followed by its Governorship and Presidency of the USA. During his lifetime, Jefferson was a servant via his political offices, who believed that "active goodness" should be at the core of all democratic life. For his country, not unlike Jesus who came to serve Mankind, Jefferson also served his neighbor and country throughout the tenure of his adulthood. Within a political context, Jefferson advocated the natural rights of Man as God's gift, which were premised upon freedom, self-government, a war of independence against Mother England, and the disestablishment from the ruling classes of both Church and State. Jefferson's view of spiritual deliverance included the modernizing of advance education. Based at West Point, NY, he set up a Corps of Engineers so as to better educate the officer corps by teaching engineering, technology, languages, and the mathematics of artillery. As President, Jefferson's...
