What is America without the Founding Fathers? It was fated that 7 men of exceptional talent, prowess, intellectual advantage came together and became one of the key figures of America's Founding Fathers. It was the synergism of them together, that made America what it is today.
Perhaps one would ask how great were they. Well America didn't exist until 1776. If we calculated the period of existence of America till now (February 2014 as of today), America would be just 238 years old. Compared to other countries which already had milestones and out of reach achievements like Egypt, Great Britain, France, Greece and so on, how did the US fast track development and innovation to become the world's strongest country as it is today?
As much as you may think that being the one that creates the future, the one who latches onto the opportunities to move forward, that made the United States what they are today, I'd say the Founding Fathers are what that made the difference back then. They were the solid foundation that accelerated the growth and spurt of the country with their bold and one of a kind approach.
I think my favorite top 3 would be Benjamin Franklin, George Washington and Thomas Jefferson. What would yours be?
