The echo of the basic documents of the American Revolution and the struggle for building an independent state and a free civil society, like the Declaration of Independence of 1776, the Constitution and the Declaration of Human Rights, can be easily discovered in a number of proclamations, appeals and speeches of many figures of the Bulgarian Revival and the National Liberation Movement. This spirit finds its excellent expression also in the text of the favorite song of Bulgarian revolutionaries of the 1870s - "We don't want riches, we don't want money, we want freedom and human rights". It becomes the hymn of Botev's revolutionists, who in 1876 got on the ship "Radetzky" ready to die for the freedom of their oppressed country.
