The founders.

I have already mention George Washington who was the most trust founder in the whole group but here are a two that you might of never heard of.

James Smith who lead a group of militia against the British before the Revolutionary war After British arm dealers lead by the governor of Philadelphia started selling to the Native Americans even after the crown said it was against the law. Smith lived where Native American raids would attack the rural towns of Pennsylvania. He saw the British doing this behind their backs and arming the people who where attacking them so he an 20 others lead a campaign against the British arm caravans. Called themselves the black boys because they would paint their faces with Native American war paint. Later him and 8 others would single handedly captured fort Bedford to get nine rifles back that the British took from them.  He after that would later join the The  Revolutionary War and become one of the signers of the Declaration of Independence. Also was the one that came up with the idea of the second Amendment.

Benjamin Tallmadge Known for his work as a spymaster for George Washington. He was the leader of the the Culper Spy Ring which many of it's spies worked in Occupied New York. While the working this spy ring with a lot of brave people in the front they would report troop movements and other things they thought would be useful for Washington. Their most notable victory is the discovery of Benedict Arnold betrayal to the cause of freedom. He and these six spies saved the Revolution from ending in their deaths and most of his spies have keep it a secret to their deaths not wanting to be outed or to be worshiped as heroes they just saw a need and did it knowing full well if they got caught spying they would be hanged.
