What Happened to the 56 Men Who Signed the Declaration of Independence? with Bill Federer

Earlier this week, historian Bill Federer joined Frank to explore the biblical ideas that shaped the foundation of America. In this follow-up conversation, Bill returns to bring the Declaration of Independence's most influential figures to life through their faith, their sacrifices, and the extraordinary stories of divine providence that many believed shaped America's fight for independence. Join Frank and Bill as they answer questions like:Who was John Witherspoon and what role did he play in America's fight for independence?What role did different denominations play in the formation of the 13 original colonies?How can we sum up Judeo-Christian Western civilization in America using only one word?Why do some people claim that it was a miracle (at least providential) how traitor Benedict Arnold was caught?What happened after the Battle of Cowpens in 1781 that had even a British officer calling the rising and falling waters that aided the Americans “almost miraculous”?What happened to Richard Stockton, Carter Braxton, and the rest of the 56 Founding Fathers?What sacrifices did the Founding Fathers make after signing the Declaration of Independence and what ultimate price did some of them pay?What's the shocking history of British starving ships?What can we learn from the Founders' courage and convictions as we seek to preserve the freedoms they fought so hard to secure?John Adams once wrote, "Posterity, you will never know how much it costs the present generation to preserve your freedom. I hope you will make good use of it. If you do not, I shall repent in heaven that I ever took half the pains to preserve it." We need to preserve it, ladies and gentlemen, and the way you can do that is get informed and to stand up.
