Give Me Liberty! The Story of the Declaration of Independence by Russell Freedman
Provocation by the British government, reactions by the colonials, and the stirring rhetoric of Patrick Henry and Thomas Paine’s Common Sense are all part of the story. But the focus of this book is on the meaning of the Declaration of Independence, particularly on equality, as (quoting Lincoln) “an abstract truth, applicable to all men and all times.”
