The Founding Fathers of the Republic of the United States of
America
[ send me this paper ]
This 9 page report discusses the “founding fathers” of
the United States of the 18th and early 19th centuries. The paper
is written under the understanding that the earliest leaders of
the country were bold enough to stand up for freedom and
independence. Such leaders saw that domination and taxation by
England was antithetical to their very existence and they took
action, revolutionary action, to change that situation and
determine their new nation’s own destiny. The group that has come
to be known collectively by the relatively generic title of “the
founding fathers” was actually a diverse group of men with varied
and equally intense interests, opinions, beliefs and prejudices.
