On Sept. 17, 1787, a group of rebel statesmen put their Herbie Hancocks<\/a> on the most important document in American history.<\/p>\n

For better and worse, the U.S. Constitution<\/a> established the foundation for the country we know 233 years later. And though the great American experiment may be winding down<\/a>, we\u2019re still here for now. So we might as well celebrate, right? (OK, maybe \u201ccelebrate\u201d isn\u2019t the right word.)<\/p>\n

History buffs may have noticed that a bunch of streets in Madison are named after Constitution signers. Land speculator and city designer James Doty must\u2019ve been a real American superfan; in addition to naming the city after former prez James Madison, he also paid tribute to 30 other constitutional convention vets<\/a>.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s an eclectic group of fascinating individuals with almost entirely sketchy histories. So in a nod to another group of American iconoclasts, let\u2019s remember some guys<\/a>.<\/span>\n

\"Abraham<\/p>\n<\/span>\n

Baldwin Street<\/h3>\n

A lawyer and U.S. senator, Abraham Baldwin<\/strong> would go on to found the University of Georgia. He was also one of the \u201ckey players<\/a>\u201d in using the Constitution to protect slavery, so fuck him.<\/span>\n

Bassett Street<\/h3>\n

Delaware\u2019s Richard Bassett<\/strong> holds the all-time No. 1 spot in the U.S. Senate<\/a>. He was also a slave owner, which he took up after leaving a federal judgeship like some middle-aged dudes today take up golf or woodworking. (He did eventually free them, but come on man.)<\/span>\n

Bedford Street<\/h3>\n

Another Delaware native with a much more refreshing bio: Gunning Bedford, Jr.<\/strong> was a staunch advocate<\/a> for education and one of the leading abolitionists in The First State. Go Gunning Junior!<\/span>\n

Blair Street<\/h3>\n

Praised by his colleagues for his gentle temperament, John Blair<\/strong> was instrumental in Virginia\u2019s creation and served six years on the U.S. Supreme Court. He was also a slave owner<\/a>. At this point, just assume all of these old whites owned people unless I explicitly say otherwise.<\/span>\n

Blount Street<\/h3>\n

Later a senator from Tennessee, William Blount<\/strong> became the first federal official to face impeachment<\/a> after conspiring on a shady land-seizing deal with Great Britain. Awkward!<\/span>\n

Brearly Street<\/h3>\n

Poor David Brearley<\/strong>\u2019s greatest legacy is the frequent misspelling of his last name, including his street here in Madison. The New Jerseyian was also a high-ranking freemason<\/a>.<\/span>\n

Broom Street<\/h3>\n

Despite his fervent support for the American Revolution, Jacob Broom<\/strong> was known as a pacifist<\/a>. He did aid soldiers by using his land surveying skills to make maps for the Continental Army.<\/span>\n

Butler Street<\/h3>\n

This future South Carolina senator has one of the shadier histories even among his shady contemporaries. In addition to his support of slavery, Pierce Butler<\/strong> famously provided safe harbor for Aaron Burr<\/a> after Burr popped Alexander Hamilton in a duel.<\/span>\n

\"Daniel<\/p>\n<\/span>\n

Carroll Street<\/h3>\n

Hailing from Maryland, Daniel Carroll<\/strong> was one of the only Catholics<\/a> among the founding fathers. As a recovering Catholic myself, I can only imagine the pain he went through thinking that British aggression was solely his fault because God was mad at him. Oh well, nothing a quick confession won\u2019t fix!<\/span>\n

Dayton Street<\/h3>\n

In addition to signing the Constitution, Jonathan Dayton<\/strong> was co-director (with his wife, Valerie Faris) of the acclaimed film Little Miss Sunshine<\/em>, as well as music videos by Beastie Boys, Oasis, R.E.M. and Smashing Pumpkins. Oh wait, that\u2019s a different Jonathan Dayton<\/a>. This one was a New Jersey politician \u2014 and youngest member of the convention \u2014 who was tried for treason<\/a> in connection with the Hamilton shooting.<\/span>\n

Dickinson Street<\/h3>\n

At different points of his career, John Dickinson<\/strong> was both the president of Pennsylvania and <\/em>Delaware<\/a>. To quote fellow American icon Snake Plissken: \u201cPresident of what<\/em>?<\/a>\u201d He also freed his slaves, so at least there\u2019s that.<\/span>\n

Few Street<\/h3>\n

OK, so William Few<\/strong> was kind of a badass. Not only was he a Davy Crockett-esque frontiersman<\/a> and Revolutionary War vet, he was also an early abolitionist<\/a>.<\/span>\n

Gilman Street<\/h3>\n

Nicholas Gilman<\/strong> was a New Hampshire senator and Revolutionary War vet with an absurd signature<\/a>. Big \u201chave a cool summer\u201d-in-your-crush\u2019s-yearbook energy going on there.<\/span>\n

\"Nathaniel<\/p>\n<\/span>\n

Gorham Street<\/h3>\n

Despite being instrumental in the creation of the United States, Nathaniel Gorham<\/strong> was extremely pessimistic and believed the country would break up within 150 years<\/a>. Right now, it looks like he was only off by about 100.<\/span>\n

Hamilton Street<\/h3>\n

There\u2019s nothing I can say about Alexander Hamilton<\/strong> that Lin-Manuel Miranda hasn\u2019t already in a much catchier fashion, so here\u2019s a link<\/a> to Hamilton <\/em>on Disney+.<\/span>\n

Henry Street<\/h3>\n

James McHenry<\/strong> was a physician and military surgeon who apprenticed under the humanitarian Dr. Benjamin Rush. Ironically, despite his dedication to mending people, he also served as the U.S. Secretary of War<\/a> under two presidents. So much for \u201cdo no harm.\u201d<\/span>\n

Ingersoll Street<\/h3>\n

Jared Ingersoll<\/strong>\u2019s patriotism was at sharp odds with his father, also named Jared Ingersoll and a British loyalist who was once tarred and feathered<\/a> for his political leanings. Though initially pro-England, the younger Ingersoll was himself radicalized<\/a> after making the acquaintance of Benjamin Franklin.<\/span>\n

Jenifer Street<\/h3>\n

One of the oldest members of the constitutional convention (and one of its best names), Daniel of St. Thomas Jenifer<\/strong> was frequently noted for his sense of humor<\/a>. Every political revolution needs a little comic relief.<\/span>\n

Johnson Street<\/h3>\n

Despite his major role in the formation of the United States, conflicting loyalties tore William S. Johnson<\/strong> apart. He maintained strong ties across the Atlantic<\/a> and was a friend of the senior Jared Ingersoll. Johnson was also 92 years old when he died, which is pretty fucking impressive given the time.<\/span>\n

\"Rufus<\/p>\n<\/span>\n

King Street<\/h3>\n

Fuck yeah, it\u2019s Rufus King<\/strong> time. He was a senator, ambassador and, in 1816, the final Federalist presidential nominee. But it\u2019s a long legacy of abolitionism<\/a> that makes him stand out. King always opposed the slave trade, though his intitial economic misgivings morphed over time into humanitarian ones. He opposed Missouri\u2019s slave statehood in 1819 and entered anti-slavery legislation into the Senate. His son, John Alsop King, was the eventual governor of New York and himself an anti-slavery activist. IDK if it\u2019s right to pick favorites among these dudes, but right now King is the clear frontrunner.<\/span>\n

Langdon Street<\/h3>\n

Before embarking on a political career that saw him become the first president pro tempore of the Senate<\/a>, John Langdon<\/strong> was a successful merchant mariner. He actually paid the expenses for himself and fellow New Hampshire delegate Nicholas Gilman to attend the constitutional convention out-of-pocket<\/a>.<\/span>\n

Livingston Street<\/h3>\n

Look, I\u2019m gonna level with you. There are a lot of these guys and not all of them are interesting. So I\u2019ll give everyone a quick chance to cool off and listen to the classic Jimmy Buffett tune \u201cLivingston Saturday Night<\/a>.\u201d Take a breather, folks. You\u2019ve earned it. (FWIW, William Livingston<\/strong> was the governor of New Jersey and his home was looted by British loyalists<\/a>. Don\u2019t say I didn\u2019t try.)<\/span>\n

Mifflin Street<\/h3>\n

It\u2019s very funny to me that Thomas Mifflin<\/strong> was a fourth-generation Quaker<\/a>, because the Madison street that bears his name is associated with out-of-control parties. I\u2019m sure that wasn\u2019t the intention, but it worked out pretty well for fans of comic irony everywhere.<\/span>\n

Paterson Street<\/h3>\n

William Paterson<\/strong> was the second governor of New Jersey, namesake of the Garden State\u2019s third-largest city, and his death was the result of injuries sustained in a coach accident<\/a>.<\/span>\n

\"Charles<\/p>\n<\/span>\n

Pinckney Street<\/h3>\n

This street adjacent to the Capitol has the distinction of being named after not one but two <\/em>different guys<\/a> named Charles Pinckney<\/strong>. And both from South Carolina! One was among the convention\u2019s youngest delegates, and the other was a Revolutionary War vet who would go on to serve as both U.S. Secretary of War and Secretary of State.<\/span>\n

Sherman Avenue<\/h3>\n

Roger Sherman<\/strong> was the only person to sign the Continental Association, the Declaration of Independence, the Articles of Confederation, and the Constitution. And while Sherman claimed to oppose slavery, he made compromises<\/a> that ensured its place in the Constitution.<\/span>\n

Spaight Street<\/h3>\n

Richard D. Spaight<\/strong> was a Democratic-Republican (real party, believe it or not) politician from North Carolina, who along with Alexander Hamilton is notable for his unfortunate record of participating in duels<\/a>. Spaight died a day after getting capped by his Federalist political rival John Stanly.<\/span>\n

Washington Avenue<\/h3>\n

Sorry, not a whole lot of information on George Washington<\/strong> out there.<\/span>\n

Williamson Street<\/h3>\n

A well-known physician and scientist from North Carolina, Hugh Williamson<\/strong> authored The Plea of the Colonies<\/em><\/a> while living in England to garner the support of English Whigs to the states\u2019 cause. He\u2019s also a military surgeon remembered for his deep concern for the welfare of colonial forces during the Revolutionary War.<\/span>\n

Wilson Street<\/h3>\n

One of the original Supreme Court justices, James Wilson<\/strong> is probably more infamous for drafting the three-fifths compromise<\/a> (along with the milquetoast Roger Sherman). Contrarily, he was also one of the only delegates to preach human equality. Wilson\u2019s philosophies inspired Thomas Jefferson to write about all men being created equal in the preamble to the Constitution.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
