Synopsis
Excerpt from The Rhode Island Signers of the Declaration of Independence: Stephen Hopkins, And, William Ellery
This brochure is presented by the Rhode Island Society of the Sons of the American Revolution as a token of its deep gratitude to Stephen Hopkins and William Ellery, the Rhode Island signers of the Declaration of Independence. We seek to perpetuate their memory, not because they won the laurel chaplet on the fields of battle, but because for twenty years before the first gun was fired in the Revolution they fought the fight for the rights and liberties of the American colonies, and with others of like loyalty and power brought these colonies together into a close union, prepared by the fire and blood of armed conflict to be welded into a nation.
Our organization is not established for self-aggrandizement. We are members not in order to set ourselves apart as a peculiar class of noble ancestry, but to fix in the minds of future generations the deeds and memory of those who contributed to the success of the American Revolution. In honoring them we shall breed a higher sense of honor in ourselves. In contemplating their labors we shall feel impelled to continue their efforts toward building a righteous nationality and shall consecrate ourselves anew to liberty and freedom and popular government among the peoples scattered over the face of the earth.
