England's enemies.
Our revolution against England was actually a part of a much larger war, which was a war basically between France and England.

And their colleagues in Congress.
This would have to go on to be approved by Congress.
Congress itself, right?
They need votes from representatives from the 13 colonies, north to south.
By early July, their draft was ready and they took it to Congress.
But before the language could be finalized, a vote was set for July 2nd, 1776.
The vote on July 2nd is, are we going to declare independence from England?
If the answer was no, the Declaration of Independence would be stopped in its tracks.

The evening before the vote, they took an informal poll and... It did not appear it was going to pass.
Coming up, the midnight ride that saves the Declaration of Independence.
On the night of July 1st, 1776, Caesar Rodney received an urgent message.
You have to get up here.
He was in Delaware, his home state, overseeing some military plans.
The message said a vote was set to happen in Congress the following day, in Philadelphia, to decide whether they would declare independence from England.
And at that moment, the two other Delaware delegates were divided on that question.
One for, one against.
