Do you know about the woman who had to flee her home because the British had offered a £200 bounty for her capture? She had three children to protect, too.
Sometimes I think we view history as a spectator without the real context for the courage it takes to take a stand against the tyranny that can push all the buttons and pull all the levers to make life hard on it's citizens. These days I think we are getting a fresh understanding. Elizabeth Burgin was obviously resolved and passionate about her stand. I thank God for giving us such patriots.
Elizabeth Burgin must have been wanted pretty badly to have had such a large bounty offered for her capture. Women had to have been very involved in the fight for freedom because they were half of the population and because the price of freedom was too large for women to just sit on their hands while the men fought for their freedom. Thank you Tara.
