Liberty! What is liberty? Some would say that liberty is the same thing or closely related to freedom. Well in my opinion it is but i think we let the word liberty roll to loosely off our tongue. Our founders people like Thomas Jefferson and Benjamin Franklin worked their whole lives to give us the freedom or liberty that we have today. But we take it for granted. I feel that we should be more thankful for everything our founders did for us. They had to have patience and perseverance to achieve the goal of liberty. Thomas Jefferson even his his life time believed that your religion was your choice and you were free to express it as you wanted. I feel as though my time in American Lit has thought me that the people (our Founders) are not so different from us in this day in age. I mean we still have the same thoughts and feel the same. Maybe it was passed down from generation to generation to think the way we do, but liberty and we don't even think about it being given to us. Our founders earned it, but we didn't.If we don't understand what liberty is then how do we expect to keep it?
