And civil fights supporters gathered behind Jefferson's words in their fight against racism in the 1950s and 1960s.In 1848 the delegates(代表) to the Seneca Falls women's fights conference proclaimed that “all men and women are created equal”, and the 20th?century feminist(女权主义者) did the same.?

  As so often happened in committees (委员会) of this kind, one man, young Thomas Jefferson, did all the work, Jefferson was well-informed in such matters. He was also a skilled writer who had already written several important papers on political subjects. Jefferson accepted the work gladly and sat at once to write what he called an “expression of the American mind”. He worked for two full days on the famous document (文件), officially known after this time as the Declaration of Independence.

  The Declaration was made up of three parts. The first part concerned the justice (正义性) of a revolution when a government took away from its people certain basic rights. The second part listed a series of acts proving that George Ⅲ was a poor king. The third part was a ringing declaration of independence; it also called upon the members of the Congress to defend the young nation with their lives, their fortunes (命运) and their honor. The Declaration was finally accepted by the Congress on July 4,1774.

  On June 7, 1776, Richard Henry Lee from Virginia stood up at the Congress and announced that “these American colonies ought to be free and independent states.” Jefferson probably knew what was coming next.Here was another resolution(决议)to debate.And whenever there was a resolution, there was a declaration.

  The American colonies had been at war with Great Britain for more than a year, but surprisingly.The colonies had not formally announced their independence.So the Congress appointed a five-man committee to crate a document declaring America's independence.And the committee chose Thomas Jefferson to write it.

  Jefferson knew he was to list the unfair things Great Britain had done to the colonies.For days and days,, Jefferson wrote and rewrote about the king and his unfair laws.About independence.About freedom.He borrowed ideas from other political writers, but he wrote these thoughts in words that all people could understand.He wanted his ideas to be shared with everyone.

  And they were.The Continental Congress voted to adopt the Declaration of Independence on July 4, 1776.on July 8, it was read out loud to a cheering crowd.No one knew who the author was, but they knew what the Declaration stood for-independence and freedom for all.

  Still, Thomas Jefferson dreamed of home.In late July he begged Richard Henry Lee to replace him in the Congress.In September, Jefferson's dream finally came true, and he traveled home.

  Since then, the words Thomas Jefferson wrote during that hot Philadelphia summer have inspired people throughout the world.Thank goodness Jefferson didn't go home.
