For more than 200 years, New Hampshire has held fast to the values of self-reliance, small government, and independence. For its symbolic significance, there is no state more suited to the Free State Project. The motto was popularized by General John Stark, a New Hampshire citizen and leader in the Revolutionary War, who wrote, Live free or die. Death is not the worst of evils.
