On the 200th anniversary of the death of Rev. Townsend Dade, Jr. (1742-1822), the Fairfax Resolves Chapter, Virginia Society, Sons of the American Revolution, along with the Gen. William Smallwood Chapter, Maryland Society,  Sons of the American Revolution, dedicated a plaque in honor of Rev. Dade’s signing of the Fairfax Resolves in 1774 which claimed equal rights for colonists under the British constitution, rejected the British Parliament’s regulation and taxation without colonial representation, and called for the colonies to govern themselves with their own assemblies with the blessing of the British Crown. Just as important, the Resolves called for the end to the trans-Atlantic slave trade. The ideals of the Resolves regarding self-government helped pave the way for American independence once relations between the British government and its colonial subjects irreparably collapsed.
