Weekly Poll: Who is your favorite Declaration of Indepence instigator?
On June 11, 1776 the Committee of Five drafted the first copy of the Declaration of Independence. After 23 days and only minor changes, the Committee of the Whole accepted the declaration and claimed the United States' freedom from British rule. While there were many American instigators in this period, we must pay special attention to those who drafted such an important piece of literature.
