DEDICATION
This book is dedicated to the Iroquois Nation, whose government was established for no other reason than to bring peace and freedom to the world known to them as Turtle Island, and who inspired a nation.
This book is also dedicated to
our Founding Fathers, who did their best to bring freedom to the common man.Specifically:
George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, James Madison, Benjamin Franklin, James Wilson and John Hancock.
And, to our not-so-famous Founders:
Samuel Adams, George Mason, James Otis Jr., George Clinton, Charles Carroll III, John Dickinson, Elbridge Gerry, Patrick Henry, Richard Henry Lee, Nathaniel Macon, Francis Marion, John Marshall, Roger Sherman and John Taylor of Caroline.
And, to John Locke, whose writings inspired an entire generation, and in particular, Thomas Jefferson.
And lest we should forget,
Abigail Adams, a woman and a wife whose dedication to freedom and to her husband, John Adams, is still an example to all.
