no binding. Condition: very good. The drafting of the Declaration of Independence is a crucial chapter in American history that took place during the Second Continental Congress in 1776. A committee, including Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, Roger Sherman, and Robert Livingston, was appointed to draft the document. Thomas Jefferson, known for his eloquence and literary skill, was the primary author. The committee reviewed and revised the draft before presenting it to the Congress on June 28, 1776. After several days of debate and revisions, the final version of the Declaration of Independence was adopted on July 4, 1776. The document eloquently articulated the colonies' grievances against British rule, affirmed the inherent rights of individuals, and declared the thirteen American colonies as independent states. This historic declaration laid the foundation for the United States' quest for independence and is celebrated annually on July 4th as Independence Day.Published by Johnson Fry & Co. New York, 1868.
