Thomas Paine, Common Sense
The sun never shined on a cause of greater worth [referring to the war for American independence]. ‘ Tis not the affair of a city, a country, a province, or a kingdom, but of a continent of at least one eighth part of the habitable globe. 'Tis not the concern of a day, a year, or an age; posterity virtually involved in the contest, and will be more or less affected, even to the end of time, by the proceedings now. Now is the seed time of continental union, faith and honor. The least fracture now will be like a name engraved with the point of a pin on the tender rind of a young oak; The wound will enlarge with the tree, and posterity read it in full grown characters.
- Thomas Paine, Common Sense

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed. That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or abolish it, and to institute new government as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.
- the Declaration of Independence

And there we saw the men and boys
As thick as hasty puddin'.
Yankee Doodle keep it up,
Yankee Doodle dandy,
Mind the music and the step
And with the girls be handy.
And there we saw a thousand men
As rich as Squire David,
And what they wasted every day,
I wish it could be saved.
Yankee Doodle, keep it up, etc.

I took my stand just back of the
American tents . . .and busied myself
washing, mending and cooking for
the soldiers in which I was assisted
by other women I cooked and
carried beef, bread, and coffee to
the soldiers I met General Washington, who asked me if I ‘was not afraid of the cannonballs?’
I replied, ‘it would not do for the men to fight and starve too.’
- Sarah Osborn, serving at Yorktown

The World Turned Upside Down
If buttercups buzzed after the bee, If boats were on land, Churches on sea, If ponies rode men, And if grass ate the cow And if cats should be chased Into holes by the mouse, If the mammas sold their babies To the Gypsies for half a crown, If summer were spring, And the other way 'round, Then all the world would be upside down.
