The Declaration of Independence: Quit Bossing Us Around! (American Milestones) Carol Marsh Act edition

Years before George Washington would become President of a brand new country called The United States of America, Thomas Jefferson hunkered down in a candle-lit room and penned a letter that shook loose the heavy iron chains of a tyrannical monarchy. In writing the simple phrase, ...we hold these truths to be self-evident - that all men are created equal, Thomas Jefferson told the King of England that the colonists were not going to be treated as his inferior subjects any longer.
