Enterprise & Independence—Numbers That Built a Nation

Treason—or the first start-ups?

When Washington, Jefferson, Franklin, Adams, and Hancock signed the Declaration, they literally pledged their lives for the right to chart their own course—an act Britain deemed punishable by death.tampabay.com

Founders who balanced more than ideals

These “traitors” were also entrepreneurs:

• George Washington ran the nation’s largest commercial distillery by 1799, producing 10,942 gallons of rye whiskey.mountvernon.org

• Benjamin Franklin built a thriving printing business that funded his experiments—and his diplomacy.ushistory.org

• John Hancock was a high-profile Boston merchant whose shipping empire made him a target for British customs raids.nps.gov

They proved sound ledgers and bold vision go hand in hand.

Small business: America’s permanent backbone

Today, firms with fewer than 500 employees generate 43.5 % of U.S. GDP and nearly 40 % of private-sector payrolls.investopedia.com  Independence still begins with owners who manage cash flow, not quarterly reports to Wall Street.
