Political science professor Barry Shain has collected 174 letters,
papers, petitions, and proclamations from the years directly
preceding the creation of the Declaration of Independence that
challenge many of the dominant narratives that shape contemporary
understanding of this all-important document. Rather than arising
from strong philosophical convictions and a clearly perceived
vision of the future, the Declaration, as these writings
demonstrate, was more the result of chance occurrences and
practical considerations, and reflective of a society less
rebellion-minded and far more monarchically inclined than most
Americans today have been taught to believe.
