"On this day in 1776, the Continental Congress adopts our Declaration of Independence.
It had already resolved on July 2 that “these United Colonies are, and, of right, ought to be, Free and Independent States . . . .”
Now it formally adopted a written document, too.
It took nearly a month to write the Declaration!
You may know that Thomas Jefferson was the primary author, but he had help, too.
What is the rest of the story?
