Warren, serving as the President of the Bunker Hill Monument Association, delivers this address during the celebration of the memorial to commemorate the battle fought at Bunker Hill. In his address, Warren discusses the evolution of the American fight for independence, highlighting significant events leading up to the Declaration and the ideologies it espoused, such as liberty, self-governance, and the rights of individuals.
