Line 32:
** As admitted in the [[DVD Commentary]], Martha Jefferson never visited her husband in Philadelphia.
** There was no vote mandating that a motion for independence had to be unanimous ... but, as Hancock acknowledges in the play, there was an understanding that acting on anything less than unanimity risked a fatal split in the colonies.

{{quote|After all, what is a man profited if he shall gain Mary-land and lose the entire South? <nowiki>[</nowiki>[[beat]], then brightly:] [[The Bible/Source/Matthew#16|Matthew 16:26]].}}
* [[Batman Gambit]]: Franklin asking John Hancock to poll the Pennsylvania delegation.
* [[Big Damn Heroes]]: The arrival of Reverend John Witherspoon (and the rest of the New Jersey delegation) in Congress before the resolution on independence is struck down.
