The Leedstown Resolution

Your Musical Patriot has recently confirmed that he is a direct descendant of one of the signers of the Leedstown Resolution -- a document which vigorously opposed the Stamp Act -- along with Richard Henry Lee, Henry Lightfoot Lee, Laurence Washington, and others.

This document, important as a predecessor of the Declaration of Independence, made clear that its signers were willing to suffer any physical danger in order to resist the Stamp Act. While pledging allegiance to the Crown of England, these brave men nevertheless wrote: "...we do determine, at every hazard and paying no Regard to Danger or to Death, we will exert every Faculty, to prevent the Execution of the said Stamp Act in any Instance whatsoever within this Colony."

Today the Stamp Act is a relic of history. However, the "U.S.A. P.A.T.R.I.O.T. Act" is very much with us, yet also resisted. The spirit of the patriots of early Virginia lives on in its descendants, both blood descendants and spiritual descendants.

Please visit this web log again soon for further information about the Leedstown resolution.
