Is John Hancock a good role model for people today?

Answer 1

By todays standards John Hancock would not only be considered a Terrorist but a Traitor as well who used his political position of trust and authority to undermine the exisiting Government of Law and Order to further his and other wealthy traitorous Yankees personal agendas.For allowing Yankee,murdering thugs, to confiscate and banish New England born Tories was a black mark against a new forming Nation.

Any nation whose birth is stained by sneaky malcontent terrorists who hide behind a bush and shoot a policeman [or Redcoat] is destined to have a society and Gov`t in its future system based onmurder,violance,corruption,fear,disrespect,collusion,hate

and will result in Civil Wars,sections,assasination of its Leaders and suppresion.

in my book heros are those who selflessly work and strive to see a wrong and work in the existing Society and Gov`t to gain a position of authority thereby being able to bring about non violent change and fairness for everyone.The Englishmen responsible for the insubordinate revolution of the New England Colonies living in Boston New York and Virginia are in the same catogory as Blackbeard,Captain Kid,

and Durrell.Colourful but not interrested in really advancing Civilization.

Answer 2

Well, in the sense that Hancock was a criminal - a smuggler - then, no. But in terms of his loyal support and funding for the revolution against England, he is a great role model.
