We explore one of the most iconic founding fathers, John Hancock, and his role in changing the American Revolution. Political moderation was forced upon the people as a stabilizing force during a time of rebellion. The American people fought for their rights and for their country against King George Ⅲ. Brooke Barbier, a public historian and author, argues John Hancock played the most important role in American history.
