Summary "Signers of the Declaration" by Robert G. Ferris is a historical account written in the early 1970s. The work delves into the stories and backgrounds of the individuals who signed the Declaration of Independence, offering insights into their motivations and the significant risks they took in declaring independence from Great Britain. The book highlights the profound impact these figures had on the founding of the United States. The opening of this volume sets the stage by outlining the historical context of the Declaration of Independence, exploring the escalating tensions between the American colonies and British rule that culminated in the signing. It recounts how the Continental Congress convened amidst the growing unrest and how the decision to declare independence was fraught with political complexities. The text emphasizes the courage shown by the signers, who not only risked their lives and fortunes but also shaped the future of a new nation built on democratic principles. This initial section serves as a foundation for the subsequent in-depth biographical sketches of the signers, which promise to illuminate the diverse backgrounds and contributions of these pivotal figures in American history.
