John Laurens: Forgotten Patriot of the American Revolution

A close associate of both George Washington and Alexander Hamilton, in his short life, John Laurens was both an accomplished diplomat and soldier. But he is nearly forgotten because he did what many other, more famous, patriots did not. He died for the cause of liberty. The History Guy recalls the man of whom Washington said, “He had not a fault that I ever could discover.”
