Meet the Signers of the Declaration of Independence
From Georgia, Button Gwinnett:
Though the name sounds like he might have actually been Benjamin Franklin's imaginary friend, Button actually was a real man who once
led a mission to invade Florida in an attempt to secure Georgia's borders. After that, he ran for governor and eventually died in a duel at the age of 42.
