Charles Thomson (1729-1824) was one of the two original signers of the Declaration of Independence, and he designed the Great Seal of the United States. He served as Secretary of the Continental Congress (1774-81) and as Secretary of the United States in Congress Assembled (1781-1789), resigning when the US Constitution was ratified. He had a reputation for truth and accuracy.

When he was asked to write a true history of the American Revolution, he refused to do so and stated the following:

"I will not undeceive future generations."

This blog seeks to accomplish that which Charles Thomson would not do: undeceive future generations.
