About this ebook

This "play" can be read aloud in a class of any size, or read silently by one or more students, to give a feel for what it took to get the Declaration written and passed.

I have researched the debates of the Second Continental Congress, and the delegates to arrive at this dialog.

    Notes:

    Too often we brush over the Declaration of Independence when we are studying U.S. History or U.S. Government. And yet the document itself, and the history of that document, are critical parts of both U.S. History and Government.

    My desire here is to make the people and the debates involved in the Declaration come alive for students of all ages. To arrive at these dialogues, I have researched the debates of the Second Continental Congress, and the delegates that were there. Several of the quotes are historically documented, but many of the lines are merely similar to what different delegates might have said, based on my research.
