Independence Hall - Philadelphia



Neste local em 1776 foi realizado o congresso da Filadelfia onde foi definido e declarada a Independência dos Estados Unidos, assinada por representantes das 13 colônias neste congresso.

"July 4 -- Congress adopts the Declaration of Independence in the morning of a bright, sunny, but cool Philadelphia day. John Dunlap prints the Declaration of Independence. These prints are now called "Dunlap Broadsides." Twenty-four copies are known to exist, two of which are in the Library of Congress. One of these was Washington's personal copy."
