Summary:
"In 1776, upon the signing of the Declaration of Independence, the
Founding
Fathers
concluded America's most consequential document with a curious note, pledging 'our lives, our fortunes, and our sacred honor.' Lives and honor did indeed hang in the balance, yet just what were their fortunes? How much did the Founders stand to gain or lose through independence? And what lingering consequences did their respective financial stakes have on liberty, justice, and the fate of the fledgling
United
States
of America?"--Provided by the publisher.
