Though in our present day, freedom is often taken for granted, history portrays the fact that our nation, as well as numerous other countries, have not always enjoyed such liberty.
Freedom comes at a terrible cost.
I would like to use as an example the Revolutionary War. If it is possible to have a favorite war, the Revolutionary War is definitely mine. The men who fought weren t the best skilled in warfare techniques, nor were they all super heroes. The patriots were ordinary farmers and merchants who didn t seem to stand a chance against the trained soldiers of England. Thousands upon thousands paid dearly for their convictions, and I m sure that when their comrades were dying from cold and hunger at Valley Forge, or when they seemed to be losing at every turn, many felt that they would be unable to endure such hardship.
