The number 56 suggests that you are thinking of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Thay are among the Founding Fathers but do not constitute the whole. Most copies of the Declaration include the names of the signers. Michael Montagne Yes, there is a list (by state) of the 56 signers of the Declaration of Independence at http://www.colonialhall.com. They also have biographical information on many of the signers.
Of the signers of the Declaration of Independence, only a few were born in what is now the United States. Most were born in the British colonies, which were not yet considered a separate nation. Notable signers born in the colonies include George Walton from Georgia and Thomas Jefferson from Virginia. However, the majority were born in England or other parts of Europe before immigrating to America.
Most of the people born in 1742 would have been 34 when the Declaration of Independence was signed. That would include thousands of people throughout the country.
The youngest signer of the Declaration of Independence was Edward Rutledge of Southern Carolina. He was 26. He was also initially opposed to independence, but signed the Declaration for the sake of unanimity.The oldest signer was Benjamin Franklin, who was 70 at the time. At the signing, Franklin famously said "We must all hang together, or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately."
John Hancock was the most visible signer of the declaration of independence
what they wanted to was get clarification the rights rules and regulations everybody contributed to so that everyone was in agreement before signing the most important document of all time The Declaration Of Independence
The main reason the signers could be called hypocrites is that in the Declaration they state that all men are created equal, yet even Jefferson kept slaves. Political cartoons were made of this issue in Great Britain.
For Americans, the biggest and most significant event of 1776 was the Declaration of Independence. The American colonies wanted independence from Great Britain. The signers of the Declaration were taking the risk of being hanged for treason.
