Hi there, I'm Emily Sneff, author of the new book, When the Declaration of Independence Was News. This week marks the 250th anniversary of the Declaration. I'm here on July 2--the anniversary of the vote for independence itself--to answer your questions about the Declaration, how the news circulated in 1776, and how we remember the document today. I've been studying the Declaration and its history for over a decade and I've heard just about every question about it, so truly, ask me anything!
