Robert Morris was one of the wealthiest men in America when he signed the Declaration of Independence. He knew exactly what he was risking--British confiscation of everything he'd built. When the Revolution ran out of money, he didn't protect his fortune. He bet it all on freedom.
Morris personally guaranteed over $1 million in loans (roughly $30 million today). He paid soldiers from his own pocket. When his ships were captured by the British, he didn't quit--he found other ways to raise funds. His principles cost him dearly, but he never wavered.
Tragically, post-war land speculation bankrupted him, and Morris died in poverty. But his sacrifice helped birth a nation.
