EDITORS COMMENTS
This facsimile print depicts the United States Declaration of Independence, adopted by the Continental Congress on July 4, 1776, although the document was not signed until August 2, 1776. The Declaration, penned primarily by Thomas Jefferson, marked the formal separation of the thirteen American colonies from Great Britain. The historic document was signed by 56 delegates representing the new United States of America. The Declaration of Independence is a seminal document in American history, outlining the principles of individual liberty, popular sovereignty, and the right to revolution. It was a bold assertion of the colonies' independence and their intention to form a new nation. The document was a response to years of growing discontent with British rule, including taxation without representation and perceived infringements on colonial rights. The Declaration of Independence was a turning point in world history, leading to the establishment of the United States of America and inspiring revolutions and democratic movements around the globe. The document's famous preamble, which begins with the iconic phrase "We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal," has become a cornerstone of American and global democratic values. This facsimile print offers a glimpse into the past, allowing us to connect with the historical moment when the American colonies took the bold step of declaring their independence and setting the stage for the creation of a new nation. The signatories, including Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, Benjamin Franklin, and Roger Sherman, among others, put their names to this historic document, committing themselves to the cause of American independence and the principles it embodied.
