  • AND THE U.S. DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION

  • Narrator: HERE ARE SOME EXCITING SCENES

  • FROM TODAY'S EPISODE OF LIBERTY'S KIDS.

  • George Washington: WE NEED AN OFFICIAL DECLARATION

  • TO FIX THE PEOPLE TO OUR CAUSE.

  • James: THE HESSIANS HAVE ARRIVED!

  • GENERAL WASHINGTON SAID THAT THERE ARE 18,000 TROOPS.

  • John Adams: THE TIME FOR TALK HAS PASSED. IT'S TIME TO ACT!

  • Ben Franklin: WE MUST ALL HANG TOGETHER,

  • OR MOST ASSUREDLY WE SHALL ALL HANG SEPARATELY.

  • Sarah: 6, JUNE, 1776.

  • DEAREST MOTHER, IN THE LAST CONGRESS,

  • SOME OF THE DELEGATES BELIEVED DR. FRANKLIN AND MR. JOHN ADAMS

  • WERE PLOTTING TREASON AGAINST THE KING.

  • HOWEVER, THIS CONGRESS HASN'T A SINGLE DELEGATE

  • STILL LOYAL TO THE CROWN.

  • JAMES AND HENRI HAVE JOURNEYED TO NEW YORK,

  • WHERE JAMES HOPES TO INTERVIEW GENERAL WASHINGTON

  • FOR THE GAZETTE.

  • PROVISIONS ARE EVERY BIT AS LOW AS MORALE,

  • TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTION BLUNTLY.

  • PROVISIONS, MORALE LOW.

  • [GRUNTS]

  • NOT SO HARD.

  • OH. SORRY.

  • YOU'RE WITH THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE, AREN'T YOU?

  • WE'VE MET BEFORE IN PHILADELPHIA AND BOSTON.

  • PERHAPS YOU CAN ANSWER A QUESTION FOR ME.

  • WHAT IN THE WORLD IS GOING ON AT THE STATEHOUSE?

  • FROM WHAT I UNDERSTAND,

  • LONG, DRAWN-OUT ARGUMENTS.

  • WE NEED AN OFFICIAL DECLARATION

  • TO FIX THE PEOPLE TO OUR CAUSE.

  • THE PUBLICATION OF COMMON SENSE

  • CHANGED MANY MEN'S MINDS IN OUR FAVOR,

  • BUT IT'S TIME FOR CONGRESS TO ACT

  • TO EXPLOIT PUBLIC OPINION.

  • WE NEED A COMPLETE UNITED FRONT.

  • SEE FOR YOURSELF.

  • HERE.

  • James: WHO ARE THEY?

  • Washington: HESSIANS.

  • HESS--WHAT?

  • GERMAN SOLDIERS.

  • THERE'S HUNDREDS OF THEM.

  • AND MORE ON THE WAY.

  • KING GEORGE III HAS MADE A DEAL WITH GERMAN PRINCES

  • TO HIRE 18,000 TROOPS.

  • BUT, GENERAL WASHINGTON, YOU'LL BE OUTNUMBERED.

  • WHAT WILL YOU DO?

  • THERE IS VERY LITTLE WE CAN DO

  • AGAINST THE BRITISH AND THE HESSIANS,

  • NOT WITHOUT HELP FROM CONGRESS.

  • BUT WHAT CAN CONGRESS DO?

  • THEY CAN ISSUE A PROCLAMATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

  • THEN THE FRENCH GOVERNMENT MAY BE PERSUADED TO SEND TROOPS

  • TO HELP US FACE THIS ONSLAUGHT.

  • WE'VE GOT TO GET BACK HOME

  • TO TELL DR. FRANKLIN ABOUT THIS.

  • EXCUSE ME, BUT WE NEED OUR HORSE RIGHT AWAY.

  • WHAT'S YOUR HURRY?

  • WE HAVE TO TELL DR. FRANKLIN ABOUT THE HESSIANS.

  • YOU MEAN BEN FRANKLIN?

  • WE HAVE TO TELL DR. FRANKLIN

  • SO THAT CONGRESS CAN GET THE FRENCH TO HELP US.

  • [GASPS]

  • HENRI...

  • WELL, IN THAT CASE, I'LL GET RIGHT ON IT.

  • [WHISTLES]

  • HEY, LET ME GO!

  • WATCH OUT, HENRI! THEY'RE TORIES!

  • GET THE BOY!

  • THEY WANT TO WARN FRANKLIN

  • ABOUT THE NEW TROOPS!

  • UNH.

  • [GASPS]

  • Blacksmith: NEVER MIND HIM.

  • LET'S LOCK THIS ONE IN THE BARN.

  • Henri: HELP!

  • [PANTING]

  • WHAT IS IT, LAD?

  • JAMES. HE'S BEEN TAKEN PRISONER

  • BY THE BLACKSMITH AND SOME MEN.

  • WHO IS JAMES?

  • HE'S MY FRIEND.

  • WE HAVE TO GO TELL DR. FRANKLIN THE HESSIANS ARE HERE

  • SO CONGRESS CAN HELP,

  • AND THESE MEN WANT TO STOP US!

  • TORIES.

  • THEY HAVE HIM IN THERE.

  • [GRUNTING]

  • LET'S FORCE IT OPEN.

  • WHAT ARE YOU DOING?

  • THAT'S MY STABLE!

  • WE'RE LOOKING FOR A BOY.

  • NOTHING IN THERE BUT HORSES.

  • WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?

  • [GRUNTING]

  • WHAT IS THIS LITTLE FELLOW YAMMERING ON ABOUT?

  • YOU CAN'T DO THAT!

  • HE JUST DID.

  • THAT'S PRIVATE PROPERTY.

  • AND THAT'S A HUMAN BEING.

  • JAMES!

  • AND YOU'RE A TORY KIDNAPPER.

  • YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING TO ME.

  • I DON'T KNOW WHAT I CAN EVER DO TO REPAY YOU.

  • I DO. GET YOUR HORSE AND RIDE LIKE THE WIND

  • TO TELL DR. FRANKLIN THE NEWS.

  • WE NEED SOME HELP FROM CONGRESS.

  • DR. FRANKLIN!

  • DR. FRANKLIN!

  • TORIES GOT JAMES!

  • THE HESSIANS HAVE ARRIVED!

  • THEY WOULDN'T LET HIM OUT!

  • GOOD HEAVENS.

  • THEY TRIED TO STOP US.

  • GENERAL WASHINGTON SAID THAT THERE ARE 18,000 TROOPS.

  • THEY LOCKED JAMES UP IN A BARN.

  • HESSIANS LOCKED YOU IN A BARN?

  • ARE YOU TRYING TO WORRY US TO DEATH?

  • HENRI SAVED MY LIFE.

  • YOU LOOK A FRIGHT!

  • THAT BLACKSMITH WAS A TORY.

  • HE DIDN'T WANT US TO BRING THE NEWS TO DR. FRANKLIN.

  • I SHAN'T LET YOU OUT OF MY SIGHT

  • FOR FEAR OF THE TROUBLE YOU FIND.

  • START OVER, JAMES.

  • WHAT DID THE TORIES NOT WANT YOU TO TELL ME?

  • KING GEORGE HAS SENT 18,000 TROOPS.

  • THE HESSIANS.

  • WE SAW THEM ARRIVE.

  • GENERAL WASHINGTON WANTS CONGRESS TO--

  • YES, I KNOW. A RESOLUTION ON INDEPENDENCE.

  • WE MUST TRY HARDER TO GET CONGRESS MOVING,

  • OR WE'LL BE FINDING HESSIANS IN OUR BEDS.

  • THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES RICHARD HENRY LEE OF VIRGINIA.

  • MR. PRESIDENT,

  • I WOULD OFFER 3 RESOLUTIONS--

  • THAT THE COLONIES ARE IN FACT FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES

  • ABSOLVED OF ALL ALLEGIANCE TO GREAT BRITAIN,

  • THAT THE INDEPENDENT STATES SEEK TO FORM FOREIGN ALLIANCES,

  • AND THAT THE INDEPENDENT STATES

  • ESTABLISH A PLAN OF CONFEDERATION.

  • I SECOND ALL 3 RESOLVES.

  • [ANGRY ARGUING]

  • ORDER IN THE CHAMBERS!

  • ORDER!

  • HE'S DONE IT. LEE OF VIRGINIA.

  • WHAT A HEADLINE THAT'S GOING TO MAKE.

  • WHAT AN ACT OF TREASON AGAINST THE KING!

  • TREASON? YOUR KING HAS SENT GERMAN TROOPS TO ATTACK US.

  • I WANT TO HEAR, TOO.

  • HEY!

  • HENRI, BE CAREFUL!

  • AAH!

  • AAH!

  • UNH.

  • UNH.

  • [GIGGLES]

  • OH, NO.

  • MR. DICKINSON,

  • I'M WITH THE PENNSYLVANIA GAZETTE.

  • HOW NICE FOR YOU.

  • WHAT ARE THE HOPES FOR PASSING

  • THE INDEPENDENCE RESOLUTION?

  • FEW AND FAR BETWEEN.

  • INDEPENDENCE IS DANGEROUS AND IMPOSSIBLE.

  • COULD YOU EXPLAIN THAT ANSWER, SIR?

  • DANGEROUS BECAUSE WITHOUT THE PROTECTION OF THE CROWN,

  • THE FRONTIER WILL FALL TO THE INDIANS,

  • AND A EUROPEAN POWER MORE RUTHLESS THAN ENGLAND

  • WILL GAIN OWNERSHIP OF THE COLONIES.

  • IMPOSSIBLE BECAUSE ONLY NEW ENGLAND AND THE SOUTH WANT INDEPENDENCE.

  • THE MIDDLE COLONIES,

  • NEW YORK, NEW JERSEY, MARYLAND, DELAWARE,

  • AND PENNSYLVANIA WILL NEVER VOTE FOR IT.

  • BUT THOMAS PAINE'S COMMON SENSE

  • HAS CHANGED A LOT OF PEOPLE'S MINDS.

  • COMMON SENSE IS ANYTHING BUT.

  • "AND JUST AS MR. JOHN DICKINSON TRIED TO INFER

  • "THAT PAINE'S COMMON SENSE

  • IS A WASTE OF TIME"--

  • I DON'T THINK "INFER"

  • IS THE WORD YOU WANT TO USE.

  • YES, IT IS.

  • SHE'S RIGHT.

  • WELL, IT SOUNDS GOOD.

  • WORDS HAVE A GREAT POWER, JAMES.

  • I KNOW. I'M A JOURNALIST.

  • YOU HAVE TO BE MORE CAREFUL IN CHOOSING THEM.

  • WHAT WOULD BE THE RIGHT WORD?

  • SUGGEST.

  • DOESN'T SOUND AS GOOD.

  • BUT IT COMMUNICATES YOUR MEANING.

  • EVEN WITH THE RIGHT WORD, THIS ARTICLE'S NO GOOD.

  • I DON'T KNOW WHETHER CONGRESS

  • IS GOING TO ADOPT THE RESOLUTION.

  • DR. FRANKLIN IS HAVING A SECRET MEETING UPSTAIRS

  • ABOUT JUST THAT SUBJECT.

  • Adams: SO IT IS OUR JOB

  • TO COME UP WITH A WRITTEN STATEMENT OF INDEPENDENCE

  • ON WHICH CONGRESS IS TO VOTE.

  • SO YOU'D BETTER START WORKING ON IT, JOHN.

  • NOT ME, FRANKLIN.

  • MY SHRILL INSISTENCE AND LACK OF TACT

  • HAVE MADE ME TOO OBNOXIOUS.

  • IF THE OTHERS KNOW IT'S MY HAND ON THE PEN,

  • THEY'LL TEAR IT TO SHREDS.

  • WHOM DO YOU PROPOSE TO WRITE IT?

  • YOU, DR. FRANKLIN.

  • YOU ARE THE MOST FAMOUS WRITER ON THE CONTINENT.

  • I PASS.

  • I WRITE FOR THE AMUSEMENT OF MY READERS AND MYSELF.

  • I WILL NOT WRITE SOMETHING

  • ONLY TO HAVE A CONGRESS REWRITE IT.

  • WHAT ABOUT ROGER SHERMAN OR ROBERT LIVINGSTON?

  • THEY'RE ON THE COMMITTEE AS WELL.

  • THEY CAN BARELY WRITE THEIR NAMES.

  • JEFFERSON, YOU HAVE A FINE MIND

  • AND A GIFT FOR LANGUAGE.

  • ME?

  • YOU.

  • IT WILL BE AN HONOR

  • TO TURN WHAT TALENTS I HAVE TO THIS CAUSE.

  • I ONLY HOPE I PROVE WORTHY.

  • AAH!

  • [GASPS]

  • [LAUGHS]

  • WHERE'S MR. JEFFERSON GOING IN SUCH A HURRY?

  • HE'S GOT A LOT OF WRITING TO DO.

  • [SIGH]

  • DRAT! I HAVE TO DO BETTER THAN THAT.

  • Jefferson: GO AWAY!

  • I JUST WANT TO ASK HIM SOME QUESTIONS.

  • HE'S TOO BUSY WORKING.

  • WORKING ON WHAT?

  • I THINK I KNOW A WAY TO FIND OUT.

  • HOW?

  • NEVER MIND.

  • JUST WAIT FOR ME BACK AT THE PRINT SHOP.

  • [KNOCK ON DOOR]

  • GO AWAY!

  • Sarah: CHAMBERMAID.

  • OH, ALL RIGHT. LET YOURSELF IN.

  • "WHEN IN THE COURSE OF HUMAN EVENTS,

  • IT BECOMES NECESSARY FOR ONE PEOPLE TO DESTROY THE..."

  • "WHEN IN THE COURSE OF HUMAN EVENTS,

  • IT BECOMES IMPERATIVE TO CUT ASUNDER THE..."

  • "WHEN IN THE COURSE OF HUMAN EVENTS,

  • "IT BECOMES DESIRABLE FOR ONE PEOPLE

  • "TO DISSOLVE THE POLITICAL BANDS

  • WHICH HAVE CONNECTED THEM WITH ANOTHER"--

  • [GASPS]

  • IT'S SEDITION.

  • HE'S WRITING AN EXPLANATION FOR--

  • BREAKING OFF ALL TIES TO THE CROWN.

  • FINALLY, A DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

  • BUT WHY DOES HE KEEP STARTING OVER?

  • WHY NOT JUST WRITE IT AND HAVE DONE?

  • REMEMBER WHAT I SAID ABOUT THE POWER OF WORDS?

  • BUT DOESN'T HE KNOW THAT ACTION IS NEEDED NOW?

  • IT IS IMPORTANT TO TAKE THE NECESSARY TIME

  • TO CHOOSE THE CORRECT WORDS,

  • ESPECIALLY WHEN DEFYING A KING.

  • Hancock: "AND DO ALL OTHER ACTS AND THINGS

  • "WHICH INDEPENDENT STATES MAY OF RIGHT DO.

  • "AND FOR THE SUPPORT OF THIS DECLARATION,

  • "WITH A FIRM RELIANCE

  • "ON THE PROTECTION OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE,

  • "WE MUTUALLY PLEDGE TO EACH OTHER OUR LIVES,

  • OUR FORTUNES, AND OUR SACRED HONOR."

  • [ALL CHEERING]

  • ORDER!

  • THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES JOHN DICKINSON OF PENNSYLVANIA.

  • JAMES, LOOK. THOSE MEN NEED HELP.

  • WE DON'T HAVE TIME.

  • WE'RE ALREADY LATE FOR THE READING OF THE DECLARATION,

  • AND THIS RAIN DOESN'T HELP.

  • Sarah: BUT THEY'LL GET SOAKED.

  • SO WILL WE.

  • LOOK, THAT ONE MAN HAS A COLLAR.

  • HE'S A MAN OF GOD. WE'RE STOPPING.

  • ALL RIGHT.

  • NEED SOME HELP?

  • BLESS YOU, LAD.

  • WHAT WE NEED IS TRANSPORTATION TO THE STATEHOUSE.

  • HOP IN.

  • THAT'S JUST WHERE WE'RE HEADED.

  • PEACE AND PROSPERITY WOULD BE THE BENEFITS OF INDEPENDENCE.

  • UNLIKE MY ESTEEMED COLLEAGUE MR. DICKINSON,

  • I HAVE NOTHING BUT CONTEMPT FOR THE PRESENT SITUATION

  • AND NOTHING BUT HOPE FOR THE--

  • [DOOR OPENS]

  • WE'VE BEEN DETAINED BY THE ELEMENTS.

  • [CONGRESSMEN MUMBLING]

  • ORDER! PLEASE EXPLAIN THIS INTERRUPTION.

  • I AM THE REVEREND JOHN WITHERSPOON,

  • AND WE ARE THE NEWLY ELECTED

  • NEW JERSEY DELEGATION.

  • WE'VE BEEN INSTRUCTED

  • BY THE NEW JERSEY PROVINCIAL CONVENTION

  • TO SUPPORT THE RESOLUTION FOR INDEPENDENCE.

  • [CONGRESSMEN MUMBLING]

  • [GAVEL POUNDING]

  • Hancock: ORDER!

  • THIS IS A MOST WELCOME INTERRUPTION.

  • ARE WE LATE FOR THE VOTE?

  • THANK HEAVENS, NO.

  • THANK THE HEAVENS, INDEED.

  • BUT THANK THESE YOUNG PEOPLE.

  • WITHOUT THEIR HELP, WE MIGHT HAVE MISSED IT.

  • I CAN'T THANK YOU ENOUGH.

  • WE ARE HAPPY TO HAVE BEEN OF SERVICE.

  • CAN WE STAY AND WATCH?

  • PLEASE, TAKE THE SEATS BEHIND MINE.

  • BUT YOU MUST NOT TELL ANYONE

  • WHAT IS SAID HERE.

  • ALL IN FAVOR?

  • ALL OPPOSED.

  • THAT WAS ONLY A STRAW VOTE TO SEE WHERE WE STAND.

  • ONLY DELAWARE AND PENNSYLVANIA

  • STAND AGAINST THE INDEPENDENCE RESOLUTION,

  • BUT IN ORDER TO ADOPT IT, THE VOTE MUST BE UNANIMOUS.

  • THE ACTUAL VOTE WILL TAKE PLACE TOMORROW MORNING.

  • UNTIL THEN, WE ARE DISMISSED.

  • RAT! IF ONLY CAESAR RODNEY OF DELAWARE WERE HERE,

  • HE'D VOTE WITH US

  • AND BRING DELAWARE TO OUR SIDE.

  • CAESAR RODNEY IS BEDRIDDEN.

  • WAIT A MINUTE.

  • JAMES, COULD YOU AND MOSES

  • RACE TO DELAWARE TO VISIT A SICK FRIEND?

  • [KNOCK ON DOOR]

  • [COUGHS]

  • [KNOCK ON DOOR]

  • IF IT'S THIEVES,

  • I'M ALONE.

  • YOU'LL ONLY HAVE ME TO ROB.

  • [DOORKNOB JIGGLES]

  • WE'RE NOT ROBBERS.

  • AHH, THEN YOU'VE COME TO ESCORT ME

  • TO THE NEXT WORLD.

  • NO. JUST PHILADELPHIA.

  • THAT'S A FAR CRY FROM HEAVEN.

  • DR. FRANKLIN SENT US.

  • WITH NEWS OF THE INDEPENDENCE RESOLUTION?

  • THE VOTE IS TOMORROW, AND YOUR VOTE IS VERY IMPORTANT.

  • HELP ME OUT OF BED, GENTLEMEN.

  • [COUGHING]

  • WOULDN'T IT BE BETTER

  • IF YOU RODE IN THE CARRIAGE WITH US?

  • SPEED IS EVERYTHING.

  • HYAH.

  • [HORSE WHINNIES]

  • [COUGHING]

  • THANKS AGAIN, FELLAS.

  • [COUGHING]

  • THAT COUGH SOUNDS BAD.

  • WE'D BETTER TRY TO KEEP UP WITH HIM.

  • James: I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY HE WOULDN'T LET US TAKE HIM.

  • Moses: NOW YOU'VE SEEN A REAL HERO.

  • [GASPING FOR AIR]

  • STEADY, RODNEY.

  • UNH.

  • [COUGHS]

  • I'VE GOT TO MAKE IT INSIDE.

  • [CONGRESSMEN CHATTER]

  • OH.

  • [COUGHS]

  • [COUGHS]

  • AS I BELIEVE THE VOICE OF MY CONSTITUENTS

  • AND ALL SENSIBLE AND HONEST MEN

  • IS IN FAVOR OF INDEPENDENCE,

  • MY OWN JUDGEMENT CONCURS WITH THEM.

  • I VOTE FOR INDEPENDENCE.

  • IT'S UNANIMOUS.

  • THE RESOLUTION ON INDEPENDENCE PASSES.

  • [CONGRESSMEN CHATTER]

  • James: HE MADE IT!

  • YOU GOT THE "YES" VOTE FOR PENNSYLVANIA?

  • MR. DICKINSON SAW THE INEVITABILITY OF OUR CAUSE

  • AND STAYED HOME.

  • AT LAST, AMERICA IS INDEPENDENT.

  • Adams: MARK MY WORDS.

  • THIS DAY, JULY 2, WILL BE REMEMBERED

  • AS THE MOST REVERED DAY IN AMERICAN HISTORY--

  • AN OCCASION FOR GAMES,

  • SPORTS, BELLS, BONFIRES, AND ILLUMINATION.

  • IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE WISHES OF THE DELEGATES,

  • LET US NOW DEBATE MR. JEFFERSON'S DECLARATION.

  • DEBATE WHAT?

  • THE TIME FOR TALK HAS PASSED.

  • IT'S TIME TO ACT!

  • THE BONFIRES AND ILLUMINATIONS

  • MAY HAVE TO WAIT, JOHN.

  • THE CONGRESS WANTS TO QUIBBLE OVER THE WORDS.

  • Jefferson: BUT YOU'RE CUTTING MY DOCUMENT TO PIECES.

  • I COUNT 30 DELETIONS AND CHANGES SO FAR.

  • MORE THAN A QUARTER OF THE LENGTH IS GONE!

  • YOUR PRIDE IS UNDERSTANDABLE, MR. JEFFERSON.

  • YOU HAVE WRITTEN A MAGNIFICENT DOCUMENT,

  • BUT IT'S VITAL FOR US TO BE UNITED

  • AS WE TAKE THIS DRASTIC STEP.

  • THE CHAIR RECOGNIZES MR. RUTLEDGE OF SOUTH CAROLINA.

  • WHY DO THEY HAVE TO CUT THE LIFE

  • OUT OF THE DECLARATION?

  • IT'S FINE AS IT IS.

  • IT GOES BACK TO WHAT I'VE SAID BEFORE--

  • THE POWER OF WORDS.

  • THEY ARE CHOOSING A SET OF WORDS

  • FOR WHICH MEN WILL SURELY FIGHT AND DIE.

  • GREAT CARE MUST BE TAKEN.

  • Hancock: THERE,

  • A SIGNATURE BIG ENOUGH FOR KING GEORGE

  • TO SEE IT ALL THE WAY FROM LONDON.

  • DR. FRANKLIN?

  • WE MUST ALL HANG TOGETHER,

  • OR MOST ASSUREDLY

  • WE SHALL ALL HANG SEPARATELY.

  • "THAT THESE UNITED COLONIES ARE,

  • "AND OF RIGHT OUGHT TO BE,

  • "FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES,

  • "THAT THEY ARE ABSOLVED

  • "FROM ALL ALLEGIANCE TO THE BRITISH CROWN

  • "AND THAT ALL POLITICAL CONNECTION

  • "BETWEEN THEM AND THE STATE OF GREAT BRITAIN

  • "IS AND OUGHT TO BE TOTALLY DISSOLVED.

  • "AND THAT, AS FREE AND INDEPENDENT STATES,

  • "THEY HAVE FULL POWER TO LEVY WAR, CONCLUDE PEACE,

  • "CONTRACT ALLIANCES, ESTABLISH COMMERCE,

  • "AND DO ALL OTHER ACTS AND THINGS

  • "WHICH INDEPENDENT STATES MAY OF RIGHT DO.

  • "AND FOR THE SUPPORT OF THIS DECLARATION,

  • "WITH A FIRM RELIANCE

  • "ON THE PROTECTION OF DIVINE PROVIDENCE,

  • "WE MUTUALLY PLEDGE TO EACH OTHER OUR LIVES,

  • "OUR FORTUNES, AND OUR SACRED HONOR."

  • AND THERE YOU HAVE IT, MEN--

  • OUR DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.

  • JULY 4, 1776.

  • INDEPENDENCE!

  • [CELEBRATING]

  • Soldier: DOWN WITH THE KING!

  • THIS IS AMAZING!

  • THAT ONE DOCUMENT CAN HAVE THIS EFFECT

  • ON TIRED, DISPIRITED SOLDIERS.

  • THIS IS MADNESS!

  • WHERE WILL IT END?

  • IN INDEPENDENCE?

  • IF THE PURPOSE OF THE DECLARATION

  • IS TO GAIN POPULAR SUPPORT

  • FOR THE CAUSE OF INDEPENDENCE,

  • IT LOOKS LIKE IT'S WORKING.

  • THIS WILL MAKE IT EASIER FOR THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA

  • TO APPEAL TO THE FRENCH FOR MILITARY SUPPORT.

  • [CHEERING]

  • OH, MY GOODNESS!

  • I HAVE TO ADMIT IT, SARAH.

  • YOU AND MR. JEFFERSON

  • HAVE TAUGHT ME A LESSON I'LL NEVER FORGET

  • ABOUT THE POWER OF WORDS.
