Many only know George Washington as the first President of the United States and an exemplary military leader. However, working his 8000 acre estate and farm at Mount Vernon was a part of him that was who he was. This is the second installment of Founding Father Farmers on the Sustainable Agriculture Channel to celebrate July 4th. It is also to celebrate the spirit of agriculture and self determination both born by the same passion General and President George Washington exemplified in leading our country to victory in the American Revolution.
" I know of no pursuit in which more real and important services can be rendered to any country than by improving its agriculture, its breed of useful animals, and other branches of a husbandman's cares. "

Happy 4th of July America. Considering today's holiday, I thought it would be fitting to post the Declaration of Independence with the hopes of generating some discussion around it's contents.
Do you think the signers of the declaration would be celebrated if they were alive today, or would they be considered terrorists?
Should the people oust their government from time to time, when that government no longer represents the peoples' interest?
Does our country still represent the ideals present in this document?
Would the revolutionaries of 1776 be revolutionaries today, or would they be pleased with the outcome?

English colonists didnt invent racism in the Americasgold-obsessed Spaniards had a head start of nearly a centurybut their early antipathy to Virginias Indian tribes set the tone for the following centuries.
For the Indians that survived the initial period of contact, the future was bleak. The loss of their lands was bad enough, but they had the bad luck to live in the place that would become Virginia:
Jim Crow. The Confederacy. Eugenics.
Today, Virginia's 4,000 Indians are the direct descendants of Pocahontas and her people. Despite this famous forbear, Virginia's eight surviving tribes are forced to fight for the right to call themselves Indian. They seek recognition from the Federal Government, a process that would officially make them Indian, as well as grant them badly needed education and health care benefits.
Though this lack of recognition is the result of a kafka-esque history, tribal leaders have united for the first time to overcome their shared legacy of racism. Next year is the 400th anniversary of the founding of Jamestown, the first permanent English colony in America. Thanks to a truly grassroots effortan alliance of tribes has hired a lobbyist using bake-sale proceedsa bill is currently pending in congress that would offer recognition for six of the tribes.English colonists didnt invent racism in the Americasgold-obsessed Spaniards had a... more
