Fun Fact: Drafting the Declaration of Independence in 1776 became the defining event in Thomas Jefferson’s life. The Continental Congress appointed him the task of producing a draft document for its consideration. Jefferson wrote a stunning statement of the colonists’ right to rebel against the British government and establish their own government based on the premise that all men are created equal and have the inalienable rights of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness.
