Lives, Fortunes, & Sacred Honor - The pledge of the signers of the Declaration of Independence

Patriot Lessons: American History and Civics (Constitution, Declaration of Independence, etc.)

Learn what the signers of the Declaration of Independence meant in the last sentence of the document: "And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm Reliance on the Protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor." Discover the meaning of Divine Providence - that the very hand of God intervened in human affairs. Uncover that pledging one's life and fortune was deadly serious in light of the harsh penalties for treason - including disembowelment and forfeiture of all property to the Crown. Explore the true meaning of "sacred Honor" - and why it was so important to the Founding Fathers to preserve it above all else.
