        Consulting "neither book nor pamphlet," Jefferson wrote out the "common sense of the subject," in a single afternoon. He tinkered with it thereafter, as did Franklin and Adams. The result was the most important document in American history. For more: http://Thomasjeffersonhour.com

        Now more we must remember the day our forefathers signed the document that created separate from the British that controlled our now democracy. FROM CONTROL. It wasn't actually on July 4th b/c those that did were separated logistically. Adams & Jefferson did pass same day 7/4.

        Still there. Called the Declaration House. 700 Market St, Philadelphia, PA 19106. Also. Beschloss never comments on tweets from others, go figure.

        We tore down the old Metropolitan Opera House, the Astor Theater, the Hippodrome and dumped 99% of all the kinescopes of the old DuMont Television Network in the Hudson in the middle of the night - but we kept statues of White Supremacists for 150 years, par for the course for us

        Many thanks Prof. Beschloss for posting this. We were lucky to have early leaders, like Jefferson, who were steeped in Western thought and Greek philosophy.

        Well that seems short-sighted. Why did they tear it down?

        Did they use former slaves to demolish the building where "all men are created equal" was penned?

        do you know what's there now? and if those who demolished it knew its place in history?
