National Treasure

Ben Gates from National Treasure starts out as a little kid with his grandfather telling him about the Temple's treasure. When suddenly Ben's father interrupted them saying that I was a stupid myth and it just leads to more and more clues never actually leading them to the treasure. His grandfather had said, "The secret lies with Charlotte." About 15 years later Ben was on his way to the Charlotte where he found the captain in the cargo bay keeping a close eye on some barrel. Ben opened the barrel to find a box with an old smoke pipe. They was a riddle etched in the barrel of the pipe. The clue on the pipe led to the Declaration of Independence. Ben then realized Ian is going to steal the Declaration of Independence. He gives a heads up to the FBI. But they didn't believe him because the Declaration of Independence is highly guarded. They then told Dr. Chase and she also didn't believe because of how well the Declaration of Independence is guarded so heavily. A moment after meeting with Dr. Chase he realized he has to steal the Declaration of Independence to keep it from being ruined by Ian. Ben steals the DI as a worker for the museum and then changes into a suit for the party. Right when he was about to leave, Ian shows up and begins to shoot at him, thank god the glass for the DI has bulletproof glass.

    Phillips believes the Declaration of Independence was literally an afterthought. As you can probably tell even from this brief summary, 1775 sprawls in ways that are not always felicitous. It's not clear, for example, why we need two separate chapters, in two separate sections, on the Canadian campaign. Or two separate chapters Britain's first efforts to contain the Revolution of the South. Figures like the colorful Lord Dunmore certainly have a place in this story, but probably not as frequently as he pops up. Overall, the book is a highly…

    When people think of the Declaration of Independence, a certain few figures come to mind; men such as John Hancock, John Adams, Samuel Adams, Thomas Jefferson, or Benjamin Franklin are the first to be acknowledged. However, there were 51 more signers than just them. 56 brave lawyers, doctors, merchants, ministers and plantation owners signed their own death warrants by defying the King of England to gain their own independence from faraway tyranny. Each of these men had vastly different stories, but they all had one thing in common; they all longed for freedom.…
