About the Book: When is the birthday of the United States of America? “July 4th, 1776 ” any first grader would answer. Perhaps, but open your mind and imagine a secret Hippie beginning that was conceived in a Philadelphia Tavern, delivered in a NYC Tavern, and cradled in a renovated City Hall. The USA Founding was a complicated but most miraculous birth. This U.S. Founding Handbook completely documents the nation's birth. Who was the first President of the United States?

Birthday Survey Results
July 2, 1776: "I just can't see any answer but July 2 which was the day the Continental Congress voted for Independence. Thank you for your very interesting book, which will help me teach American Revolution Class." -- Dr. William Pencak, Penn State Professor of History “It was the day on which the colonies voted to be independent from England. Thanks for the book. The documents are great.” -- Dr. Kenneth Bowling, George Washington University July 4, 1776: "You asked my view about 'when is the birthday of the United States of America.' While this is a matter about which reasonable people can disagree, I believe the best bet is the traditional answer, July 4, 1776, for two reasons. First, that is when the Declaration of Independence was initially approved, providing unambiguous indication of our intent to leave Great Britain and become a separate nation. Second, this is the date that has long been recognized as our national birthday; after many years, this sort of traditional recognition has a persuasive force of its own. By way of legal analogy, think of adverse possession or laches. Thanks for sending me a copy of Happy Birthdays USA. You pulled together a lot of very engaging information about how our country came to be, and it is certainly important to keep memory alive about the founding. The process of birth was more complicated than most people imagine. " -- W. Taylor Reveley, III - President, The College of William and Mary in Virginia. " Stan, I'm afraid I voted for July 4 in the poll. Just a traditionalist, I guess. The other dates are worth remembering but they're not THE birthday. I liked your new book. It's an interesting read about things most people don't think about." -- Thomas Fleming, Best Selling Author.
See Below for Questions and % Results September 17, 1787: "Stan, I have already voted but sort of hoped we would be given a second and third choice. Naturally I went for September 17th but my heart also belongs to April 30th. Can I pretend I am from Chicago and stuff the ballot box? Is there a runner-up prize? Your book is great. It is now my one and only source for anything from that period of time. Have actually gone back and started it over again for I wanted to underline and tag pages for future reference. Great detail and I could not be more impress that you have been able to find, document, and express all this information so well. Really, really well done." -- Thomas Connelly, Philanthropist, The Historic US Flag Exhibitor and Entrepreneur September 3, 1783: "My vote, to answer your question, is September 3, 1783 when the Treaty of Paris is signed by the Peace Commissioners." -- Kim Sajet, President & CEO, Historical Society of Pennsylvania June 12, 1776: "Here in Virginia we recognize June 12, 1776, as one of the birthdays as well. That was the day the House of Burgesses passed the Virginia Declaration of Rights which was the precursor to the Bill of Rights -- a great and courageous document. Thank you for the copy of Happy Birthdays USA, I am delighted to have it." -- Colin G. Campbell, President Colonial Williamsburg Foundation.

What Others Are Saying About This Author Washington? Get in Line: “Indeed, the document officially names this new collective "The United States of America." And when the Articles failed, the writers of the Constitution used them as a starting point when they expressed their desire "to form a more perfect union." Eighty years later, Abraham Lincoln specifically cited the "perpetual union" created by the Articles as justification for forcibly keeping the South from seceding. "The Articles of Confederation not only formed our nation," says Stanley Klos, author of President Who? Forgotten Founders, "it was used to preserve it … “The Presidents were the ones who held it together," says Klos, "even though our first government was a miserable failure." - Cover Story, US News and World Report Chopping Down History: “One of the declared objectives of our Constitution states, 'in order to form a more perfect union,' Mr. Klos said. ''What does that say? We already had a union. We're not talking about a lie here,'' he continued. ''George Washington was first president under the Constitution of 1787. We're talking about a half-truth.'' -- The New York Times “Quick – who was the first U.S. President? Wrong! At least, so this site tells us – documenting, as it does, no fewer than 10 possible holders of the office between 1774 and 1778. These ten men were the leaders of the Confederation Congress and Continental Congress, which (as you know if you read clear through that John Adams biography like you said you did) preceded Mr. Washington’s inauguration in 1789. Deep historical truth? Trivial anomaly? Read all about it and decide for yourself on this absorbing corner of the great Virtualology.com site.” -- USA TODAY Hot Sites Smithsonian’s American Presidency A Glorious Burden on Stanley L. Klos’ Exhibit and Lecture: “What we like to say to people when they come here is: 'George Washington was the first president of the United States, right?' ‘Wrong.’ That's from David Halaas, museum division director for the Senator John Heinz Pittsburgh Regional History Center.” -- Smithsonian Traveling Exhibit, Pittsburgh Post-Gazette “… a thought provoking argument for “righting” our history books about the very early years of our democracy. Samuel Huntington, His Excellency the President of the United States in Congress Assembled, indeed!” -- Lee Langston-Harrison, Curator James Madison’s Montpelier "I am fortunate to have had such a high-minded opponent in this last race. Some of the tactics that you resisted are truly deplorable and represent just the sort of campaigning which so often serves to cause the American people to dislike politics and distrust politicians. I am proud to know you and glad you are a fellow West Virginian. Diogenes with a lighted lamp in broad daylight, worked the street of Athens "looking for a man" I have found one: Stan Klos.” --- Robert C. Byrd, United States Senator “Thank you so much for taking the time to bring your exhibit to Patrick Henry College. People were thrilled with your presentation on Friday Night that helped make the evening the success that it was. Please let me know if we can ever help you in any way.” - - Mike Farris, President of Patrick Henry College “The power of the documents is absolute. They are what they are and the real thing. Mr. Klos' program and documents are as good as anything in any museum in the country. Better than in many, in fact. They are extraordinary American History Documents.” --- Ellsworth Brown, President Carnegie Institute and Museums “This is a brilliant and most enjoyable book which helps us to rediscover our rich history and heritage. Stan Klos clearly establishes that Virginia -- not Delaware -- became the first State in the Perpetual Union of the United States America ... because it was the first to ratify the Articles of Confederation (1779). You too will want to read his documentation complete with photographs and facsimiles of primary source documents of our lively and enlightening Americana history.” -- G. William Thomas, President, James Monroe Memorial Foundation Scholar Seeks Place For 1st 'Presidents: " ‘If you go into the national archives, the first thing that greets you is the Treaty of Paris proclamation signed under the great seal of the United States of America by our president, Thomas Mifflin,’ Klos says. ‘It ended the war with Great Britain.’ Klos has written a book on the subject and formed a corporation called Forgotten Founders. He had an exhibit at the 2004 Republican convention and plans another at this year's Republican convention. ‘We love the debate because it gets kids interested,’ Gleaves Whitney said. ‘This is great stuff. It's fun, and we're approaching Memorial Day, Flag Day, the Fourth of July. Why not?’" --- Tampa Tribune

Stan began acquiring and researching historic documents in 1983 upon discovering the 18th Century shipping records of Philadelphia Shipping merchant John Imlay in the attic of his home. Since then, Stan has written numerous publications and assembled exhibits that have headlined a plethora of universities, national historic sites, libraries, museums and special events. He has keynoted numerous historical events including the Franklin D. Roosevelt American Heritage Center Museum Grand Opening and entombment of Martha and U.S. President Samuel Huntington. His work and publications have appeared in hundreds of print and digital publications including U.S. News & World Report 2006 cover story, “Washington? Get In Line" and the Discovery Channel’s “Unsolved History: Plots To Kill Lincoln.”
Stan is a co-founder of various historic pursuits including the James Monroe Birthplace Commission and Dinosaur Safaris, Inc., in Shell, Wyoming. He was the Republican Nominee for U.S. Senate in 1994 campaigning as a "sacrificial lamb" against Robert C. Byrd as part of the GOP’s strategy to capture a majority in the U.S. Senate. The strategy was successful as Byrd (D), although elected 69% to 31%, spent $1,550,354 to Klos' $267,165 while the GOP captured 52 out of the 100 seats. As a State Treasurer GOP Nominee Stan uncovered a system to circumvent the West Virginia State Constitution's ban on investing State funds into equities during his campaign. Klos challenged the legality of the “West Virginia Trust Fund” which was declared unconstitutional by the West Virginia Supreme Court. The following year he backed an amendment to the State Constitution allowing equity investments that passed by a 71 to 29% margin.

Undoubtedly, the U.S. founding history of the 18th Century is most apropos to the challenges we face in this second millennium. For instance, our current economic climate is often compared to the Great Depression of the 1930's. In 1930-1940, however, the paper U.S. Dollar could always be turned in for ten silver dimes, four silver quarters, two silver half-dollars or one silver dollar. Today we are on a FIAT monetary system that is not tied to any commodity like silver or gold. Additionally, unlike the Great Depression the 21st Century Federal Government has dramatically increased the nation's monetary supply filling ailing banks with taxpayer dollars.
This 21st Century large scale printing of the FIAT U.S. Dollar is more akin to Revolutionary War economic currency crisis that began in 1777 ending just after the ratification of the 1787 U.S. Constitution. During this period, Congress ballooned the money supply from $12 million 1776 to $200 million by1780 the FIAT U.S. Dollar inflated 10,000%. In other words $100.00 in 1781 had the purchasing power of $1 in 1777.
Congress recalled the dollar in 1781 but as late as 1787 States were seeking to turn in their U.S. currency for numbers as high as 5000 for one Silver Spanish Milled dollar. It is doubtful such hyper-inflation will occur in the 21st Century due to the banking system and the fact that almost all national currency is on a FIAT monetary system. Inflation, however, will be an inevitable by-product should history repeat itself.

There are also states rights, trade, real estate (there was a collapse) and even justice lessons to be learned from the 18th Century United States founding period (for more go to our curriculum supplement to 11th Grade American History). History is The Crystal Ball to the future and any help you can provide in this endeavor to honor the Forgotten Founders will, consequently, benefit all Americans.
Thanking you in advance for your consideration and support our efforts to pass the U.S. Founding Half-Dollar Coin Act of 2009.
