Tag Archives: The Declaration of Independence

The motion carries, 12 for, none against, 1 abstaining

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.
