Proclamation 23 Aug 1775
King George III declared the colonies to be in open rebellion to his authority and were subject to severe punishment. This proclamation asserted that patriots were dangerous traitors, and any person failing to report them was also subject to penalty. Our brave founders did not cower at this enormous threat from the king as he failed to strike fear in the hearts of our patriots. Less than one year later, America declared its independence, showing the world that America would never be ruled by tyrants, but by its own free people.
