1776. The vote for independence, and the public reading of the Declaration.
From the HBO John Adams series.
Adams was the leading proponent. Franklin was the vote-getter/strategist. Jefferson drafted the soaring prose.
Take a moment and savor. Watch it with your children. Give thanks to God for the Founders.
