Summary:
"Step back in time to the birth of America and meet the real-life rebels who made this country free! On a hot summer day near Philadelphia in 1776, Thomas Jefferson sat at his desk and wrote furiously until early the next morning.

Discover the true story of one of the most radical and uplifting documents in history and follow the action that fueled the Revolutionary War"--
