I think Ellis chose “Founding Brothers” as the title because the men who are known to have helped make America a better country regardless if they ruined our economy or whatever were the founders and brothers in the sense that they all had some part in the creation of where America is today. The men in this book didn’t exactly always know what they were doing when they started building America up to be the country it is today. The word “Brothers” is more easily to
