To my knowledge, only 3 (maybe 4) of those ever guys took up arms against the British. The rest wielded the pen. The only who you could argue made his most important contributions through violence is Washington. But that would be pretty flimsy given the other roles he played. Every one of those individuals (with the exception of Hamilton, due to age) spent years, if not decades, pursuing non-revolutionary resolutions of the colonial dispute.
So, how is the scenario which you fantasize about like that particular list of people? How do you see yourself in their company?
P.S. It's pretty disrespectful of you to leave John Adams off of that list.
