Even Thomas Jefferson, once loyal to the Crown, now leads the committee drafting the Declaration of Independence, convinced most Americans share his resolve. Richard Henry Lee’s bold resolution before Congress risks treason if rejected, but if passed, it will birth a new nation. Delegates are divided—some hesitant without home approval, others ready to walk out. A committee of Adams, Franklin, and Jefferson is already at work crafting the historic document, with Jefferson’s pen poised to shape history. With royal governors gone and King George labeling colonists rebels, the tide has turned—and Philadelphia is about to deliver the verdict the world will remember.
