     "Did you know that the Declaration of Independence was based on a Scottish declaration against the English from nearly 700 years ago? This book will take you from the days of William Braveheart Wallace and Robert the Bruce during the Wars of Independence in Scotland, to the days when Scottish and Irish people immigrated to the American Colonies and helped George Washington and Thomas Jefferson fight for freedom in America during the Revolutionary War. Follow the thread from Scotland to America and come to understand how important one ended up being to the other in the development of democracy."
