Roger Sherman's Lines :P

Thomson: Rhode Island passes- Connecticut-

While Connecticut has, ‘til now, been against this proposal, our legislature has instructed me that, in the event it is introduced by any colony outside of New England, Connecticut could not any longer withhold its support. Connecticut says Yea.

Dickinson:…it is the work of the devil. Leave it where it belongs in New England.

Brother Dickinson, New England has been fighting the devil for more than a hundred years.

Hancock:…deletion or alterations to the Declaration?

Everyone: I’ve got one!

Hancock:…You’re not a member of this Congress! Mr. Sherman-

Brother Jefferson-I noted at least two distinct and direct references to the British Parliament in your Declaration. Do you think it’s wise to alienate that august body in light of our contention that they have never had any direct authority over us, anyway?

John: Roger-

Face facts, John-it’s finished!

Thomson: Rhode Island says “Yea.” Connecticut-

Connecticut says “Yea.”
