Button Gwinnett of Georgia and Robert Morris of England, James Wilson and John Witherspoon of Scotland, plus others from Ireland and Wales, shaped the revolutionary effort with diplomacy, finance, and governance. Gwinnett died after a duel in 1777, while Morris financed the war and helped found the Bank of North America. Wilson and Witherspoon, educators, influenced the Constitution and early Congress.
