SUMMARY:America's Purpose Statement: The Declaration Of Independence
DESCRIPTION:The most important sentence ever written by an American – a sentence which has inspired people in every part of the world – is found in America’s purpose statement!  Click here to read more. The legacy of Washington\, Hancock\, Franklin\, Jefferson\, Adams\, Hamilton and Paul Revere challenges us even today \n \nOn a stifling July day in 1776\, our Founding Fathers agreed to a document that was completely unique.  There had been many revolutions over the centuries\, but never had one begun with a philosophical purpose statement. Although the Declaration of Independence has no legal power\, it has become the guiding beacon for what America strove to become. As a nation we are a world leader in human rights and\, yet\, still a work in progress. \n \nIn this exciting multimedia presentation I will present the thrilling themes\, complex and charismatic personalities and exciting events that led to the most important moment in American history!

SUMMARY:James Madison And James Monroe: Influential Founding Fathers
DESCRIPTION:Their names are similar; their life spans are almost identical and each was considered one of the most influential of the founding fathers. Yet despite their very different personalities\, philosophies\, and  achievements\, most Americans today would have a hard time distinguishing one from another. This despite the fact that one of them is the primary author of the Constitution (James Madison) and the other is one of the greatest heroes of the Battle of Trenton. (James Monroe)  each served as president of the United States and their presidencies were very different as well. \nWe will look at the far ranging influence of these two great men.  As their lives intersected with people like George Washington\, Thomas Jefferson\, Benjamin Franklin\, and John Adams\, each was to become  revered for their patriotism\, courage\, wisdom\, and enormous contributions to the growth of the new nation. \nPLEASE NOTE: This presentation is offered through the Deerfield Men’s Club and registration is required\,

SUMMARY:Battle Of Trenton - Turning Point For Humanity
DESCRIPTION:The Battle Of Trenton\nThe iconic image of George Washington’s little boat crossing the Delaware River is firmly ingrained deep in the consciousness of America. Many people remember\, in general terms\, that General Washington took his army on rickety boats across an ice filled river to attack the enemy around Christmas time. The image of Washington Crossing the Delaware is so powerful and memorable that it has been used in  advertising\, comics\,\nand every avenue of popular culture. \nA deeper look at the Battle of Trenton shows us that it is actually an unmistakable turning point\, not only in the American Revolutionary war\, but in the history of the world. Although the Declaration of Independence made a breathtaking statement on the rights of man\, without the military victory at the Battle of Trenton\, the Revolutionary war and the Declaration  would merely be obscure footnotes in world history. They would just be anecdotal evidence of another failed revolt. \nWashington’s battle plan was audacious and his leadership was inspiring. After enduring a harrowing crossing of an ice filled river in a sleet storm in the middle of the night\, Washington’s men had to suffer through a nine mile march in a blizzard.  And then\, in less than ninety dramatic moments\, the Revolution was saved. The battle of Trenton was the first fight General Washington had won and is still the most important. Click here to read more about the battle of Trenton – the turning point in the history of the world. \n
