Chapters

I am Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the wealthiest of the signers and the last to survive. When I took up the patriot cars, I did so knowing I had more to lose than most. My land, my fortune, my family's name. Everything stood in jeopardy. But liberty, once awakened, demands no half measures. As the only catholic to sign the declaration, I knew both persecution and principle. I signed it as Charles Carroll of Carrollton, to let it be known who I was and that I fully supported this cause. No ambiguity. I risked it all, not for reward, but for a free republic. The question is not what I gave, but what will you.
