Conclusion

This exhibit shows some of the trying times people chose to endure.  The road to independence wasn’t a quick trip, it took over twenty years. This was a process, and one that men dedicated their entire lives to. They made this oath “… we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor.”  This project was more difficult than I first thought it would be.  It was very tedious to find all the specific information on these famous pieces of art.  In the day of digital information, having all this data at my fingertips, I still found myself searching for hours for one tiny piece to make all of it fit together.  It was really interesting to learn more about some of these paintings that I already love so much.  I have actually had the opportunity to see many of the originals, and it makes me eager to see them again.  This project has renewed my appreciation for the great sacrifices of the founders of this nation.
