Who were the foudning fathers of America?

Answer 1

Although most of the Founding Fathers were natives of the thirteen colonies, eight of the delegates were born in a different country. Ireland is the homeland of Butler, Fitzsimons, McHenry, and Paterson. Davie and Robert Morris were born in England. Wilson was native of Scotland and Hamilton of the West Indies. Once reaching the United States, many men moved from state to state, reflecting the mobility that has always characterized American life. In fact, sixteen individuals had lived or worked in more than one state or colony. Several others had traveled or studied abroad. About half of the Founding Fathers had attended or graduated from college in British North American colonies or abroad. Some men even held advanced and honorary degrees. For the most part, the delegates were a well-educated group enjoying the mobility of America.

Answer 2

John Adams was one of the most influential founding fathers.

George Washington, a founding father was one of the most unhappy at being involved, at all. He was most unhappy that a large part of the people wanted him to be king of America. Washington, appalled at the idea, pushed the name and position, "President", and of course, that turned out to be what was used.

Jefferson, Franklin, Lee and others were very involved from the Declaration of Independence on.

James Madison and his wife, Abby, were influential founding fathers (and mothers).

Jlexander Hamilton, a great supporter of Washington, who later became Washington's vice president was a very influential and brilliant founding father.
