First Principles What Americas Founders Learned From The Greeks And Romans List Of Founding Fathers
An authoritative, accessible guide to the figures who shaped a nation
How did upstart colonists solidify the ideas celebrated in the Declaration of Independence and defeat the powerful British army? How did thinkers from disparate backgrounds shape a government that transformed modern politics? The Founding Fathers explain how, putting valuable information on this historic period at your fingertips--straight from one of the most trusted sources of information around the globe.
To understand the United States, it's vital to understand the Founding Fathers--the men whose ideas became the pillars of American society. These seven key figures at the very dawn of what would become the United States of America played different roles, including drafting the Declaration of Independence, advocating the ratification of the Constitution, and negotiating with Great Britain for freedom during the American Revolutionary War. While George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and James Madison all served as presidents of the newly formed nation, John Jay, Alexander Hamilton, and Benjamin Franklin showed that the title wasn't necessary to bring forth ideas and changes that would immortalize them forever as founders of one of the most powerful countries in history.
