All the way back on the other side of the Delaware where they dug in and waited till Christmas night. We celebrate the 4th of July. Like I said, it was a document that was a declaration of war of men who knew they were putting it all on the line and would be hung as traitors if we lost. When Larry arns says it's 1860, he's not kidding. I want you to think about that for a second. What happened in 1860 and how were we inexorably drawn to a civil war? (01:19–01:31)

CLAIM

Asserts that the Declaration of Independence was a declaration of war and signers risked being hanged as traitors.
