Despite its small size, Delaware made significant contributions to the cause of American independence, far more than a single battle or a midnight ride.

During the Revolutionary War, Delaware evolved from being part of a larger colony into an independent state, a transformation driven by the sacrifices and efforts of its citizens and civic leaders. These individuals gave their time, resources, and even their personal safety to support the common cause of American freedom.
