John Hancock

Statesman

John Hancock was a prominent American merchant, statesman, and a leading figure during the American Revolution. He served as president of the Second Continental Congress and was the first and third Governor of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts. Hancock is most remembered for his large and stylish signature on the United States Declaration of Independence, so much so that 'John Hancock' has become a synonym for a signature. His influence and wealth as a Boston merchant made him a key Patriot leader in the fight for independence from Great Britain.
