  • Essay / 1776 - 529

    1776Throughout the birth of this country and the years it prospered and prospered, many leaders stepped up to help this great nation. This film documents some of the leaders who helped confront the impossible and create one of the greatest countries in the world. Although not historically accurate, this film gives people examples of the type of leadership role played by each member of Congress during the First Continental Congress.

Hancock rejected Washington's request for help early in the film, making me jump to the conclusion that he was a bad leader and a horrible man. Hancock ended up being a very strong leader, showing viewers that he was strong and courageous by being the deciding vote on whether or not Congress should talk about independence.

One of the strangest leaders who also demonstrates leadership and courage is South Carolina Congressman Edward Rutledge. He opposed John Adams for what he truly believed was best for him and the people..
