The Founding Fathers didn’t just study history—they lived by it. They knew that the key to safeguarding America from the fate of fallen republics lay in the wisdom of ancient Greece and Rome. Immersed in the classics from a young age, they learned directly from the likes of Cicero and Plutarch, drawing lessons that helped them build a nation like no other. Their rigorous education wasn’t just academic; it was a preparation for leadership and a safeguard against tyranny. By understanding what they studied, we can protect the fragile liberty they fought to secure and ensure our Republic endures.
