The Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence: The US's First Declaration?
<p>There was a lot of festivities & hullabaloo in the lead up to the 250th anniversary of the signing of the Dec of independence…but what if I told you that we were actually a little over a year too late in the celebrations? And that The first Declaration of Independence was actually signed on May 20, 1775 in Mecklenburg, NC. And not only are we celebrating on the wrong date, Thomas Jefferson plagiarized large portions of this first declaration in order to make his own!! This week we’re gonna talk about the Mecklenburg Declaration of Independence or the MecDec, if you’re cool!
