Im not trying to gloat, but if any lurkers wonder what the fuck is wrong with me.

I was instilled with these ideals, things like personal sovereignty, equalitarianism, freedom for all. They are not just cool buzzwords to hashtag on social media. These are life and death things for me. Never doubt what I and all of you are fighting for on here.

Freedom for everyone, not just the rich.

I havent read the entire thing. Its really hard to understand old english.

After 400 years, the family hasnt changed much.

The part I flipped to, was about how jesus was treated like trash whenever he tried to preach the truth. And that we can look to him for strength when others treat us like shit for wanting to believe in something more.

Dangerous ideas for that time. I can see how his ideas along with many others, would go onto inspire the quaker faith, where his own children would become members of the society of friends. Risking life and estate to do what they believed was right.

The records of Monthy Meeting of Friends shows that the Sandwich Monthly Meeting was the first established in America, and this was before the year 1660. The families of Daniel and Stephen Wing were among the first eighteen to embrace the new religious teachings, demanding freedom of conscience and a separation of the church and state.

Daniel Wing was before the Plymouth Court on numerous occasions for refusing to take the oath of fidelity to English government, being fined each time after he had claimed with others of the "friends" that it was unlawful to take any 'oath' at all. He was also fined on several occasions for refusing to assist the marshal at Sandwich in persecutions of the Quakers. He was once fined five pounds, which, in those days, represented the ordinary earnings of a man for a whole year. Repeated fines having eaten into Daniel's holdings, his relatives cast about for some means of relief from such financial persecution. Under an old English law a man might be declared legally dead by the courts and his property made over to his heirs apparently a forerunner of our modern proceeding in bankruptcy. Threatened with financial ruin by the fines imposed upon him, the shrewed old Quaker, while unyielding in his religious convictions, took advantage of this now almost forgotton law and caused his estate to be administered in his own life time. His brother John, then of Yarmouth, loyal to his brother even though himself a Non Quaker, seems to have conducted the proceedings for him. In the eyes of the English law Daniel Wing at the age of 43 was legally dead.

The Quaker persecutions ceased by the order of King Charles in 1662, and thereafter we find Daniel and Stephen Wing, with their fellow Quakers, assuming their old places in the public affairs of the colony, althought it was not until 1675 that the town of Sandwich voted to record the names as among those with "just rights and privileges of the town." The Plymouth Court already had restored Daniel's citizenship in 1669 and appointed him as one of two official surveyors of the highways. For the fact that Daniel, in his will made thirty nine years after his "legal death", left the bulk of his property to his younger children, all born after the episode of 1659, it is inferred that his older children continued to enjoy the fruits of his first acquired estate.

I know im not the only one who is like this.

And our rulers want us to be ashamed of our heritages?

What a farce.
