## Resource

Did you know “The Spirit of 76” was originally called “Yankee Doodle” — a song the British used to mock Americans, only for colonists to turn it into a rallying cry? Painted by Archibald Willard for the 1876 Centennial, this iconic image toured the nation, inspiring 14 more versions — including one now in the U.S. State Department’s collection. The models? A Civil War vet, a general’s son, and Willard’s own father. Meanwhile, in the National Archives, Barry Faulkner’s 1930s murals depict the Founding Fathers signing the Declaration — voted America’s most influential document — capturing centuries of history in every brushstroke.
