And you just look at Washington's writing and his penmanship and you read
Like, you know, we hold these truths to be self evident that all men are created equal, you know?
That is the rights of man and this age of reason coming over from Europe, colliding with kind of the purpose and and faith and it's also the finished product.
Like that's not how it was originally written, correct?
That uh well, Jefferson I think, um
much quieter, probably the great m greatest mind in the history of our country.
And uh in my opinion, but I think that that would have uh frustrated him greatly and because I think he wrote it a version and and then it was um Franklin specifically and others of like people are gonna need that there's gonna be some rewrites.
Yeah, Thomas, which I think would have been like, so Jefferson's rewrite, Jefferson wrote we hold these words to be sacred and undeniable.
Jefferson, uh, I'm sorry, Franklin, uh coming out from you know, he's a he's a scientist.

Obviously, like today we in paren we would go, duh.

A no-brainer.
Everyone is created equal.
That is a
defiant sentence and a wild concept at the time.
