Jefferson: The Statesman
“May [the Declaration] be to the world . . . the signal of arousing men to burst the chains under which monkish ignorance and superstition had persuaded them to bind themselves, and to assume the blessings and security of self-government.”
-Thomas Jefferson, letter to Roger C. Weightman, 1826
