|
Francis Hopkinson was one of the 56 signers of the U.S. Declaration of Independence and is also credited to have designed the first American flag. He was a highly educated man who had the honour of being the first Graduate of the College of Philadelphia. He went on to earn his master’s degree and completed his Ph.D. In spite of his intelligence, he was unable to do well in his law practice and his attempt at starting a business was also unsuccessful. So, in order to seek better career prospects he traveled to England and was hoping of securing the post of commissioner of customs for North America. There he got the opportunity to meet and interact with various prominent personalities even though he could not get the post he was aiming for. A lawyer by education, he became a member of The New Jersey Provincial Council that made treaties with the Delaware and several other tribes. He resigned from this prestigious position to be able to represent New Jersey in the Continental Congress and sign the Declaration of Independence in 1776. In addition to being a politician, he was also an author, songwriter, and musician. He wrote political satires and poems that were popular during his heydays. One of his most famous works is A Pretty Story, a satire about King George. |
