Synopsis

On May 10, 1776, Virginia reversed itself and authorized its delegation to the Second Continental Congress to urge that body to support a resolution declaring Independence. Knowing this, five days later, the Congress itself urged its 13 member colonies to form new constitutions “sufficient to the exigencies of their affairs” and based on “the authority of the people only."As they did so, they toppled the only world they and their ancestors ever knew: that of Kings, inherited Nobility, and an Established Religion. With a war for survival raging about them, a bench of lesser-known Founding Fathers stepped in to help re-create the first several American Republics. This astounding outburst of creativity adapted solutions that fit the characters of each new state and set the agenda for their children. This volume is in tribute to these many warriors and statesmen who had a singular opportunity “to begin the world over again.”
