Ep. 59: Roger Sherman — Connecticut's Founding Father with Mark David Hall

Roger Sherman was more than “just a simple cobbler from Connecticut,” as sung in the musical, “1776.” He was a true statesman, earning the distinction of being the only Founding Father to sign all four great documents of the United States: the Continental Association, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation and the U.S. Constitution. Connecticut’s Founding Father did more than sign those papers, however,  shaping the very fabric of the republic, says Prof. Mark David Hall — author of “Roger Sherman and the Creation of the American Republic.” Hall explains Sherman’s impact on the founding and his legacy today.
