In 1838, two decades before the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln reminded Americans that “we find ourselves under the government of a system of political institutions, conducing more essentially to the ends of civil and religious liberty, than any of which the history of former times tells us.”
This is still true 183 years later and has been true since our miraculous founding. We are the legal inheritors of the greatest country in the history of the world. The United States is a modern marvel — more wondrous than all seven of the ancient wonders of the world combined.
But with such an inheritance also comes responsibility. Our task is to defend those fundamental blessings of liberty bequeathed to us by our long-departed ancestors; to protect them and pass them on to the next generation.
