“Making the Declaration” Webinar

About

This webinar will explore the intellectual sources and material processes that allowed the Declaration of Independence to be made over the course of twenty-three days in the summer of 1776. The audience will learn about the texts and traditions that Thomas Jefferson drew upon while writing the first draft, the revision process within the Continental Congress that led to the final version of the Declaration, the process by which it was printed in Philadelphia by John Dunlap, and the method of distributing the broadsides to each of the new United States and across the Atlantic.
