Charles Carroll

[Music] [Applause] I am Charles Carroll of Carolton, the wealthiest of the signers and the last to survive. When I took up the patriot cause, I did so knowing I had more to lose than most. My land, my fortune, my family's name, everything stood in jeopardy. But liberty once awakened demands no half measures. As the only Cathol to sign the Declaration, I knew both persecution and principle. I signed it as Charles Carroll of Carolton to let it be known who I was and that I fully supported this cause. No ambiguity. I risked it all not for reward but for a free republic. The question is not what I gave but what will You do. [Music]
