Learn about the lesser-known declaration signers and the risks they took for independence.
In 1776, signing the Declaration of Independence was not an act of patriotism. It was an act of treason against Great Britain. Who were these 56 men who risked it all to make the strike for independence? Some of their names are familiar. Others — like William Whipple or Button Gwinnett — are not.
Join historian Joyce Haworth to discover some of the lesser-known founders. Learn the roles they played and the consequences they suffered after signing the declaration.
