The phrase "Founding Fathers" was created by president Warren G. Harding in 1916 in order to refer to an important group of the early years of the country. The Founding Fathers are the group of American leaders who united the Thirteenth Colonies. They were also leaders during the Revolutionary War and were able to develop many of the laws of the country, as well as the Constitution. Because of this, the Founding Fathers are considered to be some of the most important characters in the history of the United States.
