Declaration of Independence Complete Series II

The Declaration of Independence #2

by Murray Pura, Amber Schamel Lemus, John V. Amodeo

Would you have signed? Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams, and Francis Lewis, stories are all here in the Complete Series II by best-selling authors Murray Pura, Amber Schamel, and John V. Amodeo, What was going on the morning of the signing in Philadelphia? These four amazing authors have brought that to life. The Declaration of Independence series asks all of us that one soul searching question. If you were rich, if signing meant defying the world’s superpower, if failure meant your family would be left destitute and you would be hung by the neck with your hands tied behind your back until you strangled to death, would you have signed The Declaration of Independence? Would you have risked your privileged life so that others might live in freedom? That was the question facing John Hancock and in the face of overwhelming odds he answered, “Yes.” “We must all hang together,” Hancock said, before almost choking on his disastrous choice of words. Men’s faces clouded. They realized they stood on the brink, but could still step back. As had so often been the case, it was Benjamin Franklin who saved him, who saved us all. “Yes, we must indeed all hang together,” Franklin replied in an equally loud voice. He took a moment to push his spectacles up his nose. “. . . or most assuredly we shall hang separately.” The hall burst into surprised laughter. Men now smiled, grimly perhaps, but they lined up and took their turn, signing the most important document in the history of the world. Only Franklin, Hancock thought to himself. Join Hancock, Franklin, Jefferson and the other Founders on one of the most momentous days in human history, July 4, 1776.

Reviews

[Marguerite Gray · Rating 5 out of 5]

I learned much from this series about our founding fathers.

[Sharon · Rating 5 out of 5]

A wonderful retelling of the writing and signing of the Declaration of Independence, telling the side stories surrounding the lives of 3 men involved heavily in our Independence; Thomas Jefferson, Samuel Adams and Francis Lewis. Talks about Paul Revere, the Red Hen Inn, Ben Franklin and many ladies who supported and provided hiding and food for these courageous men. This book makes the writing of the Constitution and procurement of our freedom so real. Great read.
