In the 1600s David Hitchborn migrated to America and spent his life in servitude. Within four generations, the family became free property holders, business owners and respected burghers. By 1734, David’s great-great grandson, patriot Paul Revere was born into the influential Boston family.
This is the classic American saga of the rise from serfdom to freedom. Yet today, American freedom is in reverse.
The choices bred from our forebears’ sacrifices are swirling down a cultural cesspit of renewed servitude.
