In no particular order...

Pete/John Adams: conservative, independent, martial, pragmatic, patriotic.

Adelaide/Abigail Adams: firm, sharp, tough, with feminine sensibilities.

Green Arrow/Thomas Paine: liberal, communal, rationalist, sometimes ornery.

Cletus/Alexander Hamilton: tough, proud, spartan, self-reliant, ambitious.

XL/Sam Adams: mischievous, independent-minded, subversive, bold.

Mister D/Edmund Burke: not technically a founder, which makes sense in a way, but still somehow within the fold, traditional, thoroughly practical, religious.

Ethereal/Patrick Henry: passionate, radical, earthy, combative, heady.

William/John Dickinson: conciliatory, respectful, traditional, intellectual.

By no means comprehensive. Apologies to those I left out.

Feel free to add. I would like to see which founder you identify with the most, so give me your thoughts.

I think you got me spot-on. Paine has always been my favorite of the founders.

I think I'm across between Henry and Paine.

I'll be one of those usually left out, Ethan Allen or Dr. Thomas Young, co-authors of Reason, the Only Oracle of Man: Or, A Compendious System of Natural Religion, 1785.

I must say, I'm curious as to where you would place me.
