John Hancock was the President of the Second Continental Congress and the first delegate to sign the Declaration of Independence,. He did so in such a way that in America his name has become a synonym for the word 'signature'. Hancock made significant contributions to the war effort, primarily by organizing supplies and helping to establish the navy. He was wealthy and spent part of his fortune in the war effort.
