The 56 men who signed the Declaration of Independence are just names to most of us. I dare say few could name any of the signers other than John Hancock.
Today those men who risked their fortune and lives to sign that Declaration are remembered not for what they did, but who they were.
Many were slave owners. Most were wealthy, part of what would today be considered the 1%. In spite of their station in life they would today be scorned.
Take a few moments to watch the video history lesson. It will give you a new perspective on the names that have been forgotten.
Good day.
