The legacy of Washington, Hancock, Franklin, Jefferson, Adams, Hamilton and Paul Revere challenges us even today
On a stifling July day in 1776, our Founding Fathers agreed to a document that was completely unique. There had been many revolutions over the centuries, but never had one begun with a philosophical purpose statement.
