Imagine you are a founding father. Imagine coming to a completely new country and leaving your home and family. Think about what it must have felt like to start your life over in a completely different place.
Our founding fathers worked hard to make our country safe. They came to America to create a community, build houses and build more shelters for all of the citizens. The founding fathers are very special men who worked hard for our country. I would want to say, “thank you” for having the courage to leave their home country to set out for a country they knew nothing about.
John Jay, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Alexander Hamilton, Benjamin Franklin, and James Madison are obviously men who wanted to explore and find a new home. They were all men who wanted to create a new community. They were men who had a purpose in mind, and did what they needed to do to make their new country a better place than the country they came from.
Many people moved to this new country to have freedom of religion. They were forced to tolerate the rules of the Church in England, even if they didn't have the same beliefs. They wanted to find a place where they could worship as they pleased. This was such a strong desire that they were willing to pick up and move, leaving their old life behind.
Many people don’t appreciate the freedom that they have in America. Many people have fought battles and many lives have been lost to preserve our freedom in America. We need to be thankful for the country we live in and the people who have created it.
Taking into consideration all of the people who have helped this country become what it is, the seven founding fathers are definitely the most important. When you think about the founding fathers, make sure that you remember all of the courage they had and the sacrifices they made for this country.
