The Declaration of Independence, Thomas Paine, and Your Freedom – A fascinating look into the life of Paine, whose significance has been temporarily eclipsed by political, cultural, and ideological prejudices—the same prejudices that falsely equate the American War for Independence with the American Revolution, which are two distinctly different phenomena. The course presents compelling evidence that Paine—not Thomas Jefferson—is the true author of the Declaration of Independence. Galambos explains what was truly revolutionary about the American Revolution, and how it differs from all other revolutions in history. Most importantly, the V-76 lectures show why it is now more urgent than ever that we apply those principles for our own survival in a social climate that is increasingly repressive of our liberty.
