The Seven Founding Fathers

The United States of America is one of the world's largest countries, yet it was originally formed by just a few people. The founding fathers were the seven men who united the 13 colonies and gained independence for the USA. John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, Thomas Jefferson, James Madison and George Washington played a different part in influencing US independence. Their dedication is remembered by proud U.S. citizens, who honor their legacy and continue their patriotic spirit.
