## Resource

Founding Fathers: Ordinary Men, Extraordinary Cause In this clip, Dr. Mercedes Musto and Dr. Jacob Shively explain why the Founding Fathers were “ordinary men” who did something extraordinary: they risked everything to declare independence and build a new nation. The conversation connects the Declaration of Independence to the realities of 1776, the idea of natural rights, and the courage it took to sign a document that could cost them their lives.💢 FCLE Seminar YouTube⁠https://www.youtube.com/@FCLEseminar⁠ .-----------------------------------------------💢 Comment, Like, & SubscribeYou can subscribe to the FCLE Seminar Podcast @FCLEseminar on YouTube or FCLE Seminar on Spotify, Apple, or your favorite podcast platform.
