The Treaty of Paris one of a few well going successes of the Articles of Confederation. The Articles of Confederation helped end the Revolutionary war. It also helped guide the early nation through its critical point at its birth. The successes of the Articles of Confederation are what I am using to help get your assistance in the building of the real second president: Thomas McKean. If you don't already know, this man was one of many lucky men to sign the Declaration of Independence. If you don't know I'm telling you this, it's because he got the chance to give now our freedom that we had longed for. Thomas McKean may not be the  first president, he is certainly not the last, but he deserves this monument, just like the other nine. So as someone that has the chance to make a difference, do so.
