Ch 2 - Roche Reading

According to Roche in "The Founding Fathers", most delegates were nationalists. Do you agree or disagree?

  1. I think that most of the Founding Fathers were in fact Nationalists because most of them were some of the same people who advocated for the Declaration of Independence. A nationalist is someone who advocates for independence of a country, and most of the Founding Fathers did this for the U.S.

    1. I agree with this statement, and to build upon it, I will add that George Washington, in his farewell address, advocated a sense of isolationism, which in a sense advocated total independence from other countries.
