In 1776\, signing the Declaration of Indep endence was not an act of patriotism. It was an act of treason against Gre at Britain. Who were these fifty-six men who risked it all to make the str ike for independence? Some of their names are familiar\, like Benjamin Fra nklin and John Adams. Others &mdash\; like Button Gwinnett &mdash\; are no t. There are some good stories of lesser-known Americans in this talk: who they were\, what role they played in independence\, and what consequences they suffered after they signed the Declaration.
