The Founders Unmasked

Jennifer Sabin

This nonfiction book examines people connected to the founding of the United States, including both men and women. Its account begins in Philadelphia during the summer of 1776, when Thomas Jefferson came to sign the Declaration of Independence and its statement that all men are created equal. Part of a series that investigates overlooked United States history through an anti-racist perspective, it looks beyond the familiar founders.
