The excerpted movie clip below is from the John Adams movie and revolved around the writing and signing of the Declaration of Independence. Famously, the first and largest signature on the Declaration (one of the greatest literature created by man) was that of John Hancock, who was born on January 23, 1737.
Although his signature is what has become famous, his life was no less great, albeit overshadowed by still other great contemporaries. That said, John Hancock was merchant, statesmen, governor of Massachusetts, patriot of Revolution, and one of the Presidents of the what would become the United States.
