If He’d Had His Words
There was, perhaps, no greater generation than that of the latter half of 18th-century America: Jefferson, Madison, Washington, Adams, et al. There is a long and distinguished roster of heavy hitters who make up the varsity team of Founding Fathers.
There are outstanding members of that generation, however, whose names have been forgotten and who have not only been relegated to the junior varsity squad, but have been kicked off the team altogether.
Thomas Burke is one of these forgotten Founders. Burke was the author of one of the most influential, controversial, and misunderstood paragraphs of our country’s first constitution, the Articles of Confederation.
