“I define the terms "founding fathers" and "founders" broadly to include an entire generation or two of Americans from many walks of life who, in the last half of the 18th century and early 19th century, articulated the rights of colonists, secured independence from Great Britain, and established new constitutional republics at both the national and state levels. This definition includes a cast of thousands who played their patriotic part at the local, state, and/or national levels. Among them were citizen soldiers, elected representatives, polemicists, and patriot preachers.” TwoStatesLastsFatherTermWalksLevelsHalfRightsGenerationsCenturyCitizensIndependenceSoldierCastsDefinitionsLocalsBritainPatrioticRepublicPreacherRepresentativesFoundersPatriotFounding19th CenturyGreat BritainSecuredWalks Of Life18th CenturyColonists Author:Daniel L Dreisbach
