Roger Sherman: Forgotten Founder

Roger Sherman was a pivotal yet often underappreciated Founding Father of the United States. He is unique in American history as the only person to have signed all four of the major documents of the Revolutionary era: the Continental Association, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the U.S. Constitution. He rose from humble beginnings as a shoemaker to become a leading voice in the creation of a new nation. Known for his steady wisdom, Sherman devoted the last three decades of his life to public service. This episode explores the life and legacy of this forgotten founder.
