Ghosted Person
Gouverneur Morris (1752–1816)

• He literally wrote America into being—the penman of the U.S. Constitution. That stirring preamble, “We the People of the United States…”? Morris’s words.
• Born into New York aristocracy, he risked it all to back the Revolution. He spoke out against slavery at the Constitutional Convention when many stayed quiet. He helped design New York’s street grid, shaping the city we still walk today.
• But history gave his spotlight to Madison, Jefferson, Hamilton, and Washington. Morris was left as a footnote—“the peg-leg Founding Father.” (Yes, he lost his leg in a carriage accident, but he kept right on dancing, traveling, and womanizing his way through Paris salons and the new Republic alike.)
• Brilliant, witty, outrageous, and forgotten—Morris deserves his place back in the founding story.
• Wearing this shirt = un-ghosting the man who wrote the Constitution’s voice. ✒️
