he works for about 17 days on the declaration of independence, and he will especially go to john adams and benjamin franklin for some of their ideas and critiques of his writing. but generally it's his work. he's building on a lot of other things that he and others had written. some of the grievances they'd already been talking about make up a big bulk of that declaration of independence. by june 28th, the declaration is sort of back here in the assembly room. but that's a friday. they'll wait until the next monday to start debating. july the 1st begins debate on independence. the first thing they'll debate is not the declaration but the idea. they'll start discussing, is this really the best idea for us to do. should we become these free and independent states? most of the men in the room are at that point they're ready to make this step. but there are others that aren't loyal. they'll not have loyalists in the continental congress. they wouldn't want anything to do with it. but they are men that are more conservative saying this may not be such a good idea. john dickinson is probably

john adams was gone all the time. he was making the declaration of independence doing peace treaties in europe, and she was left at home inoculating the children, keeping the farm going, watching the troops go by in the war-torn revolutionary time she was in. one of the revolutionary women was the first to be, female printer and editor. she took over the whole business when her husband died. her husband printed the paper once a week. she printed it twice a week. i go into -- i have two slave women, harriet jacobs was determined that her children were not going to go through the torture she was going through. her story is phenomenal. she chose to live in an attic where she couldn't even move. she couldn't escape. she couldn't stand up. she peered at her children through little holes because she wanted her children to have a better life than she had. my title for her is, don't give up before the miracle. i reflect upon her life at each stage. i'm sure she did not feel like she had any miracles, but she did have little m

john adams rose to the occasion and defended him. but i think it gives you an example of what hancock and other smugglers were up against was his ship was seized in june and it was condemned in august, falls in september along with its cargo. but that wasn't good enough for the british government. in october, hancock was sued for the enormous sum of 9,000 pounds. adams represented him and argued that repealing magna carta as far as the rights of americans were concerned. and you'll be happy to know that it would have reduced hahn conbelow the rank of an englishman. the government decided to drop the case and our founder went free, as it were. but the americans felt very strongly that their rights needed to be beyond the seizure of the british government. massachusetts would have its charter revoked if the only rights you had were those in your charters, then you were always very vulnerable. so the idea that -- were to be inalienable, that they were part of you as a human being and natural rights was terribly important. so the source

john adams wrote to abigail adams describing the scene, he said they looked great, they were very spry as they marched, though not all in step and he thought they needed work to look as professional as he thought they should but he was very buoyed at the sight of seeing this vast army marching through philadelphia. pretty much like the fellows in the painting are doing. of course, about a month later almost to the day the british army marches down that same street and occupies philadelphia. so this was one of those many, many dark days of the american revolution. so washington's army marches into valley forge and this was one of the winterings, as she did ever winter through the eight years of the war, that martha washington joined general washingt washington. in many ways one of the rarest objects in the collection that i'll share with you now. this is a volume that was owned by martha washington. it is a -- you can see her signature "m. washington." and it's an early edition printed in england. it was known as a help and guide to christian families published in london in 1752. so qui

eventually the war slowly, and it is slowly, turns in our favor. 1783, back in paris, john adams and benjamin franklin sign a peace treaty. it's really back in 1783 that the continental congress can finally breathe that sigh of relief and know that we have achieved this american independence which would be nice if that's the end of our story, but there's more to do. go back 1776. each state writes its own constitution. each one is different. each one has its own sets of government and laws. i'll use pennsylvania. pennsylvania decides to write a constitution that's so radical for its day they get rid of the position of governor. they'll not have really a chief executive for pennsylvania anymore. they'll have a fairly democratically run one-house legislature as opposed to the standard two houses that most of the states are going to use, that the united states knows throughout its history. pennsylvania has a very different set-up. it proves to be too radical to work. and it's only going to last about 17 years. they'll have to redo it and go to the traditional governor, two houses of leg

here is john quincy adams on this $500 legal tender note. incidentally, $500 was the equivalent of about $8,500 in today's money. the general public really didn't see this note. the average salary for a worker during the civil war in 1869 was about $25 a month. most people never really got to see john quincy adams on a note. grover cleveland was on our thousand dollar bill but he was on $20 bills during this time. james garfield appears on a note. this is a gold certificate that has his portrait and there is a mirror image of his portrait on a special kind of national bank note. it is called a brownback note issued in the 1880's. if you know garfield at all, he is known for a couple of things. one is he got assassinated. he had only been in office for seven months and died about 200 days later. for me the most important thing about garfield is that he was the only president that published a mathematic proof in a journal. this is a so-called trapezoidal proof of the pythagorean theorem. this was published in the journal of education back in 1
