Patriot's Pen Essay

Author’s Note: Most people don’t think about the people that founded their country. In this country, there were people from the past that created America. They started everything in America. If you could really meet these people, what would you tell them?

                How would you talk to someone that important? What would you talk about? I would talk to them with honor and pride because of their duty to America. I would tell them what a great honor it would be to talk to a person who helped shape our country in the very beginning. I would tell them that they would’ve gone through many hardships to start a country, but they didn’t overlook those problems. They took them on and thought, “I will make sure that our future generations have a great country to live in!” If you think about it, many people wouldn’t be able to do what our founding fathers did: Begin a fantastic country that we will be proud of now, and in the future.

                Early America had to have been hard because they didn’t have the technology that we have today. Communication is a huge thing; they couldn’t just email another person. Just imagine having no computers, no cell phones, no advanced technology. Now imagine founding a whole country without it! People rely on technology a lot, because it has helped us make great discoveries about the world around us and how to make it better. Our founding fathers did a lot more than just sign papers. They declared independence for our country; which was acting for themselves along with other people. I would want to let them know that they did many important things for America, and some people don’t realize it.

                Why would I tell America’s founding fathers that? Because some people don’t realize the importance of our founding fathers. If you really did think about it, this country would be completely different if they weren’t our founding fathers. Our independence might not have been won in the same way, or we wouldn’t have the Constitution that we have now, showing our rights and freedoms. 

                I, out of all of the people in America, have had the opportunity to actually think about what I would tell America’s founding fathers. I encourage others to consider what they would tell America’s founding fathers, and why, because if we really could have a conversation with them, what would you really tell them?
