REMNANT TRUST COLLECTION
American Founding
“We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.”
– Jefferson
18th Century
The Founding Fathers of the United States, a group of visionary leaders during the late 18th century, played an integral role in uniting the Thirteen Colonies, leading the War of Independence, establishing the United States of America, and crafting the nation’s governmental framework. With figures such as John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, John Jay, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, and George Washington, these exceptional individuals made monumental contributions by signing significant documents including the Declaration of Independence, Articles of Confederation, and the United States Constitution. Their diverse ancestral backgrounds, encompassing English, Scottish, Welsh, Irish, Dutch, and French Huguenot roots, laid the strong foundation for this great nation as they fervently pursued the ideals of equality, unalienable rights, life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Alongside the relevant historical context spanning from 1216 CE to 1776 CE, their enduring legacy continues to inspire and shape the American identity.
