A "new" government found America in 1776 and has proceeded to create the master-slave relationship we thought we were leaving by escaping British rule.
Yep, I had wondered about it on my own initially, then did some research... and learned the theory had been around for decades! LOL Nothing new under the sun, eh? :-)
And you're right - it DOES make sense. The alternative, that Jefferson wrote it... does not at all.
After reading several pieces from Jefferson and from Payne I personally think you're onto something, I thought at times it was because of so much editorializing by the other founders . it wouldn't change what history we have but it could make one look at history differently.
PSSST! Skilled writers are able to write in more than one genre or style. A manifesto like the Declaration of Independence requires a different style than a letter (even if the letter is an erudite one).
Anyway, I have read that the Declaration is a product of more than one author: Jefferson was just the main author.
Happy Independence Day you handsome devil cooking up all yer “this Thomas or that Thomas” fodder for the 4th. 🙏😎
😂😂😂 I do enjoy having a little fun, from time to time 😉 Thanks so much, brother - hope you, your wife, and the pups have a happy and safe day! 🫡 ☺️

I seem to recall that being knocked around in the '70's. Made sense then, still does.

It's great to have you here, man - thanks!
Enjoying every moment, thus far, and I bore easily
I knew you were going to say Paine.
LOL I figured there'd be a few who'd know almost from the get-go :-) Not at all surprised you are one of those *salute
LOVE IT!!! 💥
Thanks, Jacqueline! Video is more your territory - and you do it VERY well - but I have fun with it on occasion ;-)
Mostly, nothing you learned in school is the truth.
Happy unlearning!
Happy 4th!
So much truth in that statement, brother! Thanks so much! 💯🫡

this is an old theory.
