• From the War Department Collection of Revolutionary War Records, 1709-1939, comes this reproduction of Alexander Hamilton’s oath of allegiance. A congressional resolve of February 3, 1778, required all army officers to take the oath before the commander in chief, major general, or brigadier general. The matted replica print of this historic document shows the front and back of Hamilton’s signed oath.

The Founding Fathers were a group of prominent leaders who declared independence from Great Britain and successfully waged the Revolutionary War. These individuals, along with many others, contributed to the intellectual, political, and military foundations of the United States. They shaped the nation's identity, its governing documents, and its early institutions.

The National Archives preserves and protects a vast collection of records related to the Founding Fathers, including original documents, transcriptions, and related materials. Founders Online, a National Archives website, provides access to the papers of several of the most prominent Founders, including George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, and Benjamin Franklin. This platform allows researchers and the public to explore the writings and ideas of these individuals from their own correspondence as they shaped the early American government.
