and dickinson spoke for 2 hours. in that speech, dickinson said stature hade grand he wrote it because -- had eroded because of his long fight against independent. but that he rejoiced that the burden that he carried was almost over, and that he could not be silent, even though he suspected it would lead to his political suicide. and in that two hours, he gave an impassioned speech against independence. when he sat down, it was john adams who rosen answered him first. -- who rose and answered him first. adams made an equally long speech. as adams spoke, the skies darkened, funder could be heard in the distance, then it grew closer and closer. rain began to hit the windows in the pennsylvania state house, and then a torrential downpour broke loose. and adams continued throughout. we don't have a record of atoms' speech, but certainly went back through all the familiar arguments he and paine made for independence. it was, according to some of these colleagues, a great speech. richard stockton from new jersey called ada

the main writer would be another pennsylvanian, john dickinson, again, dickinson would be famous forown for independence but at the same time he's making those arguments he's working on writing the articles of confederation, this formal agreement between the states of how the united states is going to operate where essentially the congress would run the war, run foreign policy, the states would kind of run their internal but they would cooperate with each other, you would haven't to pay taxes and tariffs as you went from state to state. well, the first problem with the articles of confederation i think and ultimately what dooms it, you can see from how it is signed. the signing is going to take place right when the continental congress comes back to philadelphia after the british army has left in 1778. the british leave philadelphia in june, congress is back meeting here in july and on july 9 they're ready to sign the articles of confederation. now the way the signing of that one works is a little bit different. the declaration of independence is signed by the delegates and most of t
