And, lest we forget as we celebrate independence today, back then not everyone was on board with the idea. Montgomery County, in particular, <a href="https://cardinalnews.org/2024/04/16/a-rascaly-county-montgomery-county-was-a-hotbed-of-anti-patriot-fervor-during-the-revolution/">was considered a “rascaly
