The Declaration of Independence did not appear out of thin air in 1776. It was the result of more than a decade of political disputes and reactions that finally created the conditions for once proud British subjects to create a new nation. On the 250th anniversary of Richard Henry Lee’s motion for independence in the Continental Congress, Ranger Garrett will guide you through the ups and downs of the tumultuous 1760s and 1770s.
