In Philadelphia, colonial representatives meet in the Continental Congress as the movement for American independence faces a difficult political fight. As delegates debate the future of the burgeoning United States and the rules that may shape it, Benjamin Franklin and John Adams turn to Thomas Jefferson to draft a statement declaring the new country’s separation from British rule.
