239) The Founding Fathers of America

John Hancock. George Washington. Ben Franklin. Many of us can name the more well-known of America's Founding Fathers, but what about the lesser-known men who were just as important to America's early history? And of the dozens of men considered the Founding Fathers, who among them played the most critical role in America's founding? And how would they be ranked in order of general fame in modern society? Nick Emel and returning Sidekick Host, American history expert Jerry Landry, go deep on all of these questions and more as we discuss the Top 8 Most Important Founding Fathers of America.

PLUS... the credentials of each Founding Father, 1700s America, fun facts and trivia about each Founding Father, the Duel of 1804, room and board in the 1700s, scandals, and MUCH more.
