thanks to all that answered my trivia about the back of the delaware state quarter.. congrats to the one that answered ceaser rodney!!
I knew that people would put Paul Revere! actually, he has nothing to do with america's independence!! LOL!!!!
Ceaser Rodney has been lost/forgotten in many of our history areas and minds. without him, frankly, there would be no america's independence.
we forgot how much some of these guys went through for america's independence.. like Ceaser Rodney, he had cancer!! He wore this black patch across half of his face cause the cancer was eating away his face, yet, a good friend of his, got him on a horse, and send him back to delaware, to die in his hometown. Rodney wanted to die in his home bed. so on his deathbed, he lies. meanwhile, back in philedelphia, the congress needed his vote to declare independence. without Rodney's vote, there is no independence. no one challenges Rodney. So they went back to philedelphia and rodney got his vote in.
