Trash Pandas, there are a lot of ways to leave the world, but we don't recommend the way that American founding father Gouverneur Morris did it. In this 2020 encore for America's 250th birthday, we celebrate one of the forgotten men of the country's origin.

His story is trashy enough that you wonder whether Benjamin Franklin occupying the "questionable morals in a founder" spot edged him out. Still, he was a significant figure in his time, a statesman, diplomat, and Penman of the Constitution.

Happy Independence Day, everybody!
