With this essay I will demonstrate that this rings true for George Robert Twelves Hewes and Alexander Hamilton and what the American Revolution meant to them.

Do you believe George Washington existed? The only thing we have to go by is writings about him. Do you believe all religions are false? If you looked at a watch, you would realize someone had to make it. The only thing religious people can go by is faith.
