The Fifty-Six Who Risked Everything
Description
Behind the iconic names of Washington and Jefferson lies the true courage of fifty-six men who risked everything to sign the Declaration of Independence—knowing it meant treason, exile, or worse. From wealthy farmers to pioneering doctors and even a printer and musician, these signers faced brutal consequences, including lost homes and property, yet stood united in their belief in liberty. Discover the overlooked heroes like George Clymer, William Floyd, and Benjamin Rush, whose stories reveal the real cost of freedom—and why history’s foundation is built on far more than just the famous few.
