The Founding Fathers are still very important and we learn about them because of their brave and courageous efforts that gained the colonists' independence from Great Britain.
During this time, Great Britain had control over the colonies and would enact unfair laws and rulings onto them. Numerous acts that would put taxes on products would be put onto the colonists, which was unfair since the colonists had nobody in the British Parliament to vouch for them. This would anger a lot of people and a lot of the time would end up in boycotts and violence.
The Founding Fathers were very influential voices who continuously fought for the colonists and wanted to forge the nation independently and get away from Great Britain's overbearing rule.
