We are The Minutemen

We would like to begin by thanking you for taking the time to visit our website. Our main mission is to create content that will educate and inspire American patriots of all generations and allow them to cultivate a deep appreciation for our nation's history, heritage, and founding principles.

According to a 2019 Gallup poll, only 45% of Americans reported they were "extremely proud" to be an American, a record-low. In addition, only 20% of young Americans said they were "extremely proud" of being an American. We are living in the greatest period of human history and in the greatest country, so why is the pride we have for our country so low? These results can be partially explained by an education system that has failed to properly teach American history, instead opting to tell students to feel ashamed of our past. We are also living in a culture that severely lacks the virtue of gratitude. If we cannot express gratitude for what we have, how can we appreciate the sacrifices those before us made to secure our freedom?

It's time for change. Through our essays (and future content), we will explore and analyze the ideals that have characterized America and how we as nation have set out to actualize those principles. We will also examine the arguments being made today by those who demean America and provide refutations to their contentions. Finally, we recognize that a morally-developed citizenry is the best way to preserve our republic, so we will provide essays on how to fulfill your own potential, lead a meaningful life, and become a humble and proud patriot. We hope that you will join us on this journey and continue the fight to defend our great country and all that it stands for.
