Line 3:
* [[Awesome Music (Sugar Wiki)|Awesome Music]]: "Is Anybody There?" again.
* [[Designated Villain]]: John Dickinson, the other Pennsylvania delegate (sorry, Judge Wilson), and Edward Rutledge, the South Carolina delegate and de facto speaker for the [[Deep South]]. Neither of them are true villains (the real Rutledge didn't even care all that much for slavery), but just happen to have different ideas about what is best for America and their own colonies/states.
** Dickinson ended up getting a bad rep from the movie -- in reality, he was not as hidebound as he appeared in ''1776''. He co-wrote ''On The Necessity of Taking Up Arms'' with Jefferson (the passage quoted by John Adams in "But, Mr. Adams" was actually penned by Dickinson), and supported the war. He merely hoped that it would end in rapproachment with England, once England learned that the colonies couldn't be pushed around and bullied. He did, as shown in the movie, resign from the Congress and join the Continental Army as he in good conscience, could not sign the Declaration, still hoping for a reconciliation with England. And eleven years later, he helped draft the Constitution.
* [[Draco in Leather Pants]]: Dickinson. Over half the fanbase is more in love with Dickinson than they are with Adams. Although how much of a Draco he actually was is up for debate; see [[Designated Villain]] above.
* [[Ear Worm]]: ''Sit down, John! Sit down, John! For God's sake, John, sit down!''
