It is the story about the difficult birth of this nation and of two patriots, the founder, George Washington, and the savior, Haym Salomon, of these United States of America.
Many great men such as Thomas Jefferson, Benjamin Franklin, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, and Samuel Adams, to name but a few, also contributed much to the birth of this country. Particular attention is drawn to two Connecticut residents who made everlasting contributions for the freedoms we hold dear. One is the young Nathan Hale, who, at age twenty-one, gave his life for his country. The second is Roger Sherman, who devised the grand compromise that gave us the checks and balances, which is the basis for our democracy.
