The radical Left has spent years trying to tear down America’s founding principles.
They’ve attacked the Constitution, demonized the Founding Fathers, and twisted our history beyond recognition.
But one jaw-dropping historical exhibition just opened that will leave AOC furious.
A treasure trove of authentic American liberty opens just before July 4th
As America prepares to celebrate its 249th birthday this July 4th, a remarkable new exhibition has opened its doors on Manhattan’s Upper East Side that’s causing quite a stir among history buffs and political observers alike.
The "Conceived in Liberty Exhibition" isn’t your typical museum display filled with reproductions and politically correct narratives designed to make liberals feel good about themselves.
This is the real deal – authentic documents that helped forge the greatest nation on earth.
Seth Kaller, who has built his reputation over more than thirty years as one of America’s premier dealers in historical documents, has assembled an incredible collection that tells the true story of American freedom. His timing couldn’t be more perfect, as our nation faces renewed debates about the meaning of liberty and constitutional government.
"These aren’t just relics," says Kaller. "They are blueprints for liberty and warnings against tyranny. In 2025, they are as relevant as they were when they were drafted. Today they deserve, and perhaps demand, an even greater spotlight."
The exhibition features some of the most expensive and rarest documents in American history, many valued in the millions of dollars and never before seen by the general public.
The documents that built America are now on full display
The crown jewel of this remarkable collection is an authentic broadside of the Declaration of Independence from July 1776, carrying a staggering price tag of $3.12 million.
Think about that for a moment – this isn’t a copy or a replica gathering dust in some government archive.
This is one of the actual printed announcements that carried the news of American independence to a waiting nation. Back in 1776, these single-page announcements were the social media of their day, spreading word of the Continental Congress’s bold decision to break free from British tyranny.
Patriots would grab these broadsides and post them on tavern walls, church doors, and town squares across the colonies. The fire of revolution spread through documents just like this one.
What makes this particular broadside even more special is that historians consider it potentially more "original" than the famous signed document most people think of, since that parchment wasn’t actually completed until later.
Only ten copies of this specific New Hampshire printing are known to exist today, making it rarer than almost any treasure you could imagine.
George Washington’s forgotten wisdom about choosing government officials
Another stunning piece in the collection is a letter from George Washington written just weeks before he became our first President, valued at $650,000.
The letter reveals Washington’s deep thoughts about choosing the right people to serve in government, emphasizing the need for character, judgment, and genuine commitment to serving the public good rather than personal interests.
Washington’s words hit like a lightning bolt when you consider today’s political landscape.
Our first President understood that the success or failure of the American experiment would depend on having honorable people in positions of power – people who would put the nation’s interests above their own ambitions.
"These documents remind us that democracy isn’t guaranteed," noted Kaller. "We’re not just displaying history. We’re encouraging people to reconsider these documents and events and bring them into the conversation as we all ask what the next chapter will look like and what our role is in writing it."
The exhibition also includes a brutal political cartoon from 1832 showing President Andrew Jackson dressed as a king, stepping on the Constitution – a $20,000 piece that seems eerily relevant to modern concerns about executive overreach.
The trial that saved America’s free press still matters today
One of the most powerful displays focuses on the legal case that established freedom of the press in America – the trial of printer John Peter Zenger.
The story reads like something ripped from today’s headlines about media persecution and government corruption.
Zenger had the audacity to expose the corrupt dealings of New York’s royal governor, William Cosby. Instead of cleaning up his act, Cosby decided to destroy the messenger.
The governor’s response was straight out of the authoritarian playbook – arrest the journalist, pack the jury, fire honest judges, and silence anyone who dared to defend him.
Sound familiar?
But Zenger’s case had a different ending than what we might expect today. His wife kept the newspaper running while he sat in jail, and a courageous Philadelphia lawyer named Andrew Hamilton stepped up to defend him.
Hamilton made a brilliant legal argument that would echo through American history. He admitted that Zenger had indeed printed criticism of the governor, but argued that telling the truth about government corruption should never be a crime.
"Power may justly be compared to a great river," Hamilton told the jury. "While kept within its due bounds it is both beautiful and useful. But when it overflows its banks… it bears down all before it, and brings destruction and desolation wherever it comes."
Those words ring as true today as they did nearly 300 years ago.
Despite the judge’s instructions to convict, the jury took just ten minutes to find Zenger not guilty – a stunning victory for press freedom that helped pave the way for the First Amendment.
Without that precedent, how many of our Founding Fathers might have found themselves in prison cells instead of Independence Hall?
Thomas Paine’s revolutionary message that sparked independence
The exhibition also features an original copy of Thomas Paine’s Common Sense, the pamphlet that lit the fuse of the American Revolution, valued at $38,000.
Paine’s message was simple but revolutionary: government exists only because people aren’t angels, and even then, it should be limited and accountable to those it governs.
"Government, like dress, is the badge of lost innocence," Paine wrote, arguing that human nature requires some form of authority, but that authority should come from the people themselves, not from kings or distant bureaucrats.
Since "government, at its best, is a necessary evil," Paine explained why democracy beats monarchy every single time.
This message hits differently in 2025, when Americans are witnessing an unprecedented expansion of federal power and bureaucratic overreach that would have horrified the Founding Fathers.
Paine understood that the American Revolution wasn’t just about switching one ruler for another – it was about the radical idea that ordinary people could govern themselves.
Why this exhibition matters more than ever
The timing of this exhibition couldn’t be more important.
While the radical Left works overtime to convince Americans that our founding principles are outdated, racist, or somehow evil, these authentic documents tell a completely different story.
They show that the Founding Fathers understood exactly what they were doing when they built safeguards against government tyranny into our constitutional system.
These weren’t perfect men, but they were wise enough to know that power corrupts and that freedom requires constant vigilance.
The "Conceived in Liberty Exhibition" is open at 29 East 72nd Street in New York, with weekday hours from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Kaller has big plans for 2026, when America celebrates the 250th anniversary of independence. He’s planning to take an expanded version of this exhibition nationwide, giving Americans across the country a chance to see these treasures in person.
Every American who cares about freedom should make the trip to see these documents while they can.
They’re not just pieces of paper gathering dust in a display case – they’re the genetic code of American liberty, containing the instructions for preserving our freedoms for future generations.
In an age when our most basic rights are under assault, these documents remind us that the price of freedom is eternal vigilance – and that the fight for liberty is never really over.
Below is a sampling of the treasure trove Kaller has assembled.
