Prompt
The Signing of the Declaration of Independence (1776) Inside a grand hall in Philadelphia, influential figures such as Thomas Jefferson, John Adams, and Benjamin Franklin gather around a wooden table. A quill scratches against parchment as the Declaration of Independence is signed, officially breaking ties with British rule. Sunlight streams through the windows, illuminating faces filled with hope and uncertainty for the future of the United States.
Script
Did you know that the Declaration of Independence was signed in 1776, but not everyone put their John Hancock on the document right away? In fact, some of the signers didn't put their names on it until November of that year. Talk about a delayed signature. The document was adopted on July 4, 1776, but it wasn't until August 2 that most of the signers added their names. And get this - the famous signing scene you always see depicted in paintings and movies? Total myth. The signing was likely a pretty mundane affair, with the guys just kinda trickling in and signing the thing whenever they got around to it. But hey, who needs accuracy when you're creating a legendary moment in American history, right?
