The guys that signed the Declaration of Independence

A question that is typically thought about but never asked is "what did happen to the guys that signed the Declaration of Independence?" I know personally i have never even thought about any of the other people who signed it other than Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and John Hancock because of his massive signature. We focus on the Declaration itself and what it did for this country, but not about the people who made it all happen. i think these men should be acknowledged because they sacrificed their whole livelihood and happiness for the livelihood and happiness for their country. By signing the Declaration of Independence, all 56 men also sealed and signed their fate and death warrants. "All in all, five of the 56 men were captured by the British, and tortured Twelve has their homes ransacked, looted, confiscated by the enemy, or burned to the ground. 17 lost their fortunes...They paid the their price and freedom was born," (p.57). Bold Men in Ruffled shirts talked about these men. They were not gods, they weer human which makes it all the more extraordinaire. "the miracle was that imperfect mortals could rise to such an occasion... that so few could, in the end, accomplish so much for all humankind," (p.59)
