Revolutionary war hero General John Stark declared "Live Free or Die" as New Hampshire's state motto in 1809, ever since then many Granite Staters have held proud to that belief, touting their libertarian views and sticking to their government-free laws. But there are those who worry that "Live Free or Die" might be a thing of the past as more stricter regulations and laws are being pushed, while others who think that maybe we've outgrown our libertarian ways. We'll look at the "Live Free or Die" motto and see how applicable it still is to our state.
