A Second Look at The Events of 1776 w/ Tom McMillan, Author of "The Year That Made America"
Manage episode 483611970 series 1444021
With Tom McMillan, we take a look at some of the assumptions of 1776 in the history books. First of all, why July 4th and Not July 2nd? And what about May 15th, when Adams got delegates to move and issued his own Declaration-like preamble? And a second look at Jefferson's authorship of the Declaration: writer or draftsman?
