Irish Hands That Forged America

A new documentary reveals the unsung Irish heroes who helped forge America’s founding — from Lydia Darragh, who risked her life to warn Washington, to Stephen Moylan, who coined “United States of America.” It uncovers lesser-known figures like printer John Dunlap, seal designer Charles Thomson, and signer Thomas McKean — all immigrants or children of immigrants — whose grit and vision shaped the Revolution. Henry Knox’s legendary artillery march is just one example of the determination these Irish-descended patriots brought to the table. This powerful film reweaves American history with threads of Irish courage, proving the Revolution was never just one story — it was a mosaic of diverse, indispensable contributions.
