It never fails to impress me how they were all there, at that specific moment in time - the Adamses, Jefferson, Madison, Hancock, Washington, Franklin - to create this.
They weren’t afraid to go to the mat, and they did. They signed their own arrest warrant basically when they signed the Declaration of Independence.
Giants, all of them. For what they believed in, what they loved...
They were brilliant, principled men. The more that I read their words and learn of their actions, the more that I respect and admire them. Where are those men who have succeeded them in our country today? Our Founding Fathers would be grieved to see where we now stand.
