Digging into the Revolution Causes and the Declaration
JOHN DICKINSON of Sherman discusses how the American Revolution arose from political and economic tensions under British rule. He traces a chronology from 1760 to 1776, explains Hancock and Franklin motives, and argues the Declaration of Independence embodies liberty defended by both nations in a broader struggle for freedom.
