Have you ever wanted to learn more about Delaware’s Founding Fathers? Or about what Delaware was doing during the lead-up to the Revolutionary War? Independence or the Bayonet covers the stories of Caesar Rodney, George Read, and Thomas McKean from their lives prior to the Revolution, Delaware’s actions during the lead-up to the Declaration of Independence, the fallout, and what the three men did after.
