Lesson Outline
In today's session, Yanuell continued reading King George, What Was His Problem: The Whole Hilarious Story of the American Revolution. Yanuell read and learned about how the Declaration of Independence came to be. Franklin had been the obvious choice, but he was sick in bed. With this the author shared a hilarious back and forth between Jefferson and Adams, who bickered over who would do the actual writing. In the end, Jefferson was the one to write the Declaration of Independence. Yanuell appreciated the simplistic form used to explain what the Declaration basically says, following the actual words. People are born with certain rights, King George has taken those rights, and thus, the colonists are forming their own country. This chapter also examined how members of Congress were slave owners which completely contradicts, "all men are created equal" and "life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."
