American Bio: The Founding Fathers is a set of short biographies that reveal the complexities and the challenges the men who founded the United States faced. In this collection the lives of five early American icons: Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, Thomas Paine, Thomas Jefferson and Andrew Jackson are explored with an examination of their linkage in the unfolding events of the early Republic. It contains rare insights and stories of the people behind "We the People..." This is followed with the preeminent documents in American history; The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States, the Bill of Rights and the other important Amendments. A background story and explanation of the documents is included after each document to tie together the reasoning of the Founders and their brilliant formation of precedents to build an unprecedented country.
