Generally historians define the US "Founding Fathers" as men who were instrumental in the founding of the United States, in the Revolutionary war and in the creation and signing of a number of important documents: the Continental Association, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and finally the Constitution. But of all of the many names of leaders during the time, there is only one who actually signed all four of those important documents. Roger Sherman played a vital role in the founding of the United States.
History is all around us, and it is amazing to me how it can become lost in plain sight. For example, language is chocked full of forgotten history.
