Eagle River review. [volume] (Eagle River, Wis.) 1890-1927, 1912-06-28

What really did happen July of that year
of years was the final adoption of draft OF the
form of announcing the fact to the world that
Independence had been decreed two days before.
Jefferson had written this draft in his Philadel-
Eha apartments consisting of a readyfurnished
parIor and bedroom in the new brick house OF
Hyman Gratz at the southwest corner of Seventh
and Market streets, con the outskirts OF the city
The Penn national bank, now occupying the site
of this dwelling is in the very business heart of
Philadelphia.
Jenerson's disgust at the changes made in his
draft is described by Mr.. Michael The Cont
mental Congress struck out the language charg-
Tng the king with melting Unreasonable insurrec-
lions with out fellow-citizens" by promising tnem
connsGated property with carrying on the save
trade and refusing to allow American legislatures
10 suppress it. While these and many otner
clauses were being stricken out of his draft Jei-
fersou eat in his seat without raising his voice IN
defense of his own work, notwithstanding ne
wrtthed In agony he saw some OF ms nosl
cherished paragraphs and sentences ehmlnateu
from the document" The historian, Jonn Adams,
otherwise critic of the Declaration complained
ehAt some of the drafts best parts particularly
chat indicting the king for continuing the slave
trade should not hive been stricken out. Yet
Il will be well to remember" Mr.. Michael says,
~'that Georgia and South Carolina were both car
T.y1ng on the slave trade at this time as energet-
ycaIIv as they were able and other colonies had
prorted largely by the traffic. Hence 1t was
ridiculous to arraign the king for doing the same
thing."
AFTER very heated discussions of this form OF
announcing Congress' real stroke of ndepen-
dence. on July discussions which kept indie
pendence Hail. Philadelphia, in whirl of ex-
cftement throughout the next two days-th1s
form of announcement, the Declaration OF lnde-
pendence was adopted on the night of July T. Az
the close OF that evenings session Charles Thorn
son secretary of the Continental Congress. went
so the shop Of John Dunlay the official printer,
and had the corrected draft set up. Copies OF this
Fhrst ~broadside print" sent to the assem-
oIies conventions and councils of safety through
out the colonies and TO the commanding officers

But the original Declaration" which all pill

chan two weeks after that long but unjuBtly hal

Ry the vital point-the crucial juno
ture."
The real act of independence,
which Mr.. Michael has had repro
duced in facsimile, was, then, the
Lee resolution, declaring:
'That these united colonies are,
and of right ought to be, free and
independent states; that they are
ahsolved 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"
Concerning the actual date Of
the Declarations signing, Mr.. Mi
chael says: "Mr. Jefferson in his
account states that all the mem
bers present, except Mr.. Dickinson,
signed the Declaration in the eve
ming of the Fourth of July. The
journal shows that no one signed

and Mr.. Thomson The journal en-

for HIS country beneath the same roof which
shelters the sacred document; has had the
nations archives at his fingers ends.
The independence of the United States
was declared by resolution on the End OF
July, and the adoption of the form of declara
ton on the 4th of July was a secondary mat
ter says Mr.. Michael. ut is a little strange
that more Importance was not attached to
the I'd of July in connection with the Decla-
ration of Independence. The resolution in
troduced by Richard Henry Lee which de-
cIared our independence, was passed on that
