Whether it was the Pilgrims in Plymouth Bay, the Quakers in Pennsylvania, or the Founders themselves, our society was designed to be one in which all human beings are equal and equally entitled to “life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.” But what that pursuit should look like is as varied as the population of this nation.
