CHARLOTTE, N.C., May 19, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- Who's Your Founding Father? an explosive new book from David Fleming and Hachette, explores the incredible discovery of a centuries-old secret document with the potential to unravel the origin story of America while revealing Thomas Jefferson as an unrepentant plagiarist, and much worse. And now, Fleming argues, everything we once understood about America's founding, even the designation of July 4th as our independence holiday, is up for debate. It's a shocking theory supported by many historians and scholars, including Ken Burns and the late David McCullough, as well as 11 US presidents, starting with John Adams who, in an 1819 letter, was the first to accuse Jefferson of both plagiarism and conspiring to cover up his crimes.

Key Points: 
  • And now, Fleming argues, everything we once understood about America's founding, even the designation of July 4th as our independence holiday, is up for debate.
  • One Man's Epic Quest to Uncover the First, True Declaration of Independence (Hachette Books; 5/16/23; 9780306828775) author and longtime ESPN Senior Writer David Fleming goes on a global, gonzo-style deep dive into our country's history to uncover America's first, true declaration of independence: The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence.
  • Among them: The significant role the Scots-Irish played in the Revolutionary War, especially in the critical, but rarely discussed, Southern Theatre.
  • The re-discovery, after more than a century, of the "lost" Freedom Spring, the natural spring where the MecDec was crafted and the spot that confirms Charlotte's standing as America's true cradle of freedom and May 20th as the country's real Independence Day.
