The Deception of Thomas Jefferson's Role in the Declaration of Independence
Thomas Jefferson's legacy as the sole author of the Declaration of Independence is challenged by the discovery of the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence. This lesser-known document, predating Jefferson's famous writing, claims independence 14 months earlier through a series of events involving Scots-Irish Presbyterians in North Carolina. Evidence suggests Jefferson may have plagiarized from the Mecklenburg Declaration, highlighting a unique perspective on America's founding and questioning Jefferson's impeccable reputation.
