Autorenporträt

The Founding Fathers of the United States (known simply as the Founding Fathers, Founders, or Framers) were a group of late-18th-century American revolutionary leaders who united the Thirteen Colonies, oversaw the War of Independence from Great Britain, established the United States, and crafted a framework of government for the new nation. Historians are in general agreement that six of the most prominent leaders of the Revolutionary Era of 1765–1791 are Founding Fathers: George Washington, Benjamin Franklin, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison, James Monroe and Alexander Hamilton.
