Declaration of Independence Jefferson, Paris, 1786 to convey an idea of the room in which Congress sat at the Declaration of Independence, on the ground floor of the Old State House in Philadelphia, - Left hand at entering." It was during Trumbull's visit to Jefferson that he began this composition, "with the assistance of his information and advice". The chronology of the Declaration of Independence is that the initial resolution that the "Colonies are, and of right ought to be, free and independent States" (still preserved in the handwriting of R. Lee) was introduced June 7th, debated on the 8th and 10th and further consideration postponed until July 1st. What is worse yet is that fake portraits of at least four of the signers of the Declaration of Independence can be found within the sacred portals of the room where the immortal document was adopted. www.americanrevolution.org /decsm.html   (1367 words)
