THE WAR THAT MADE 1776 INEVITABLE

In this edition of Liberty’s Voice, I connect the French and Indian War—the true beginning of America’s path to independence—to the challenges we face today with Iran. I explain how a global war in the 1700s set the stage for the American Revolution, and why understanding that history is critical when evaluating modern conflicts.

From George Washington’s first shots in 1754 to the long fight for independence, I break down how wars are won, what’s at stake, and why perspective matters—especially when comparing past sacrifices to today’s debates over Iran, national security, and global stability.
