(Fragment of earliest known draft of the Declaration of Independence, written by Thomas Jefferson in June 1776 – From American Memory: Declaring Independence, Drafting the Documents, Objects in the Exhibition)
Declaring independence took revision and a willingness to edit, as this fragment shows. (See transcript here). A reminder that everything important is a work in progress. Happy 4th everybody.
