Declaration of Independence

Have a good day tomorrow. "Subjects." That's what Thomas Jefferson first wrote in an early draft of the Declaration of Independence to describe the people of the 13 colonies. "...Over the smudge, Jefferson then wrote the word "citizens." "Dr. Fenella France, a research chemist at the Library of Congress, shows recent imaging of the document. (Susan Walsh - AP)" http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...10/07/02/AR201... Another thing most Americans don't realize: The Declaration did not originally read: "Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of Happiness". It was "Life, Liberty and Property". Wonder who wanted it changed, and why. Must research this when I get a break. Anybody know? |
