Review of 1776 (1972) by Eduardo C — 04 Sep 2011
Smart and fascinating historical musical about the amazing story of how the Declaration of Independence came to be. It centers almost entirely on the always interesting relationships of John Adams, Benjamin Franklin and Thomas Jefferson who nearly wasn't chosen to write it and when he was chosen fought to not write it.
Tragically, there almost was no revolution because the colonies were intrinsically split over the issue of slavery, which Jefferson slyly tried to abolish in his Declaration.
