Thomas Jefferson, then 33, drafted most of the Declaration of Independence in Philadelphia in the summer of 1776, and Congress adopted it on July 4. This print pairs that founding moment with the phrase "The Union Must Be Preserved," a slogan closely tied to the Civil War era, when the nation's unity was tested. The pairing suggests the image was made long after 1776 and uses the Declaration to argue for national loyalty in a later political debate. Viewers may find it worth noticing how the artist connects two different periods of American history.
