Still one of the most remarkable documents in history. It is one which drew its reasoning from Christian principles. I pray we never forget those principles of freedom enshrined in the Declaration of Independence.

I’ve always felt The Declaration took more guts to create, but The Constitution communes with God as is the more important document…

Even in the memory of two of the greatest minds in American history, the Truth is a third point forming a triangle. 📐

No matter which account is most accurate between those five men our history as an independent nation was established in writing. Happy July 2nd, Tara!

While there may be a few historical inaccuracies, the movie (originally a stage play) "1776" is a delightful treatment of the Continental Congress getting to the point of the Declaration of Independence. Well worth a watch!

One of my favorites, especially when they're singing about who should write the declaration

Imagine two high profile founding Fathers displaying humility toward taking credit for the creation of the most important document of our country’s history.

Aww yes, the story with the continuation for another day. I suspect you have a bit of Jeffersonian in you Tara Ross. You leave with desire for the rest of the story, just like Paul Harvey did. 😂😂😂

One of my very favorite national stories. The Declaration was so well written and should be well versed in the mind of every school aged child so that it is remembered even into old age. "We behold these truths..."
