Do some research on Charles Carroll and see whether our nation would have survived its own birth without him...

I don’t know much about him but he is in just about every family tree I have. He has many, many descendants or people who claim to be.

Do you mean his loyalty to George Washington during the Conway Cabal, and his working with Benjamin Franklin and Washington to bring France in as an ally while France was saying why help the Rebels and then have two Protestant powers against them and while the other ministers were trying to keep France out becausae it was a sovereign nation. Or how about at the end of the war when Charles Carroll of Carrollton, the only Catholic to sign the Declaration of Independence was also the only leader (after the war) that had money to lend. I guess those things helped us.
