All Men are Created Equal

In addition to Jefferson, learn about other influential figures in the lead up to American independence, such as Thomas Paine (author of "Common Sense"), Patrick Henry ("Give me liberty or give me death"), and Paul Revere ("The regulars are coming")

FAQ: Will this game cover the fact that Thomas Jefferson was a slaveowner?

Yes, the topic of Jefferson as a slaveowner is covered in the game.  Although the Founding Fathers achieved something remarkable with the establishment of the United States, they were real people, and therefore they had their flaws.  It must be discussed that while these men were fighting for their own freedom, they were denying freedom to others

Proudly made in Jefferson's home state of Virginia
