Thomas Jefferson's Declaration of Independence was the eloquent, concise, and persuasive piece around which the American colonies rallied during the American Revolution. Jefferson listed the many grievances the colonists had with the British crown and stated it was natural for the colonies to break away. Readers will examine this document and trace the origins of the ideas found within. They'll learn what was happening in the colonies as the Second Continental Congress debated their next move in the war with England. This book provides a thoughtful look at perhaps the most celebrated document of our nation.

Gr 3-5-In this series, the context of foundational documents is peeled back layer by layer. Well-organized, short chapters explain the reasons each document came to be, the people involved with its creation, and the effects of it on the course of history. Excerpts from the subjects are woven into the text. Sepia-toned backgrounds lend an antique air, while bold color accents add a modern dash to the design. The illustrations, which consist of reproductions and photographs, are frameless. The effect is that the images bleed into the text, creating an easy transition between word and picture. Captions and "It's a Fact!" asides supply additional information. While there's nothing groundbreaking here, this set gives librarians and teachers an opportunity to replace older titles with new, attractive ones.
