At one time 56 brave men gave it all up for freedom. Some lost it all even their families. Some of the signers survived but their spouses did not. Imagine standing up for something then the enemy directly or indirectly kills your wife. That's what those men did for us. If you look at it in that likeness how could you do any less, unless of course you're a cowardly selfish person then when it does break out someone like me is going to force you to pick a side. You'd better choose wisely and be faithful to it afterwards.
