What of the other 50? They also changed the world. Please check out the 5-minute video below that shines some light on the fate of these patriots. You don't have to be famous to change the world. You just have to do.
Last line of the Declaration:
"And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes and our sacred Honor."
