Product Details:

The Texas Declaration of Independence was produced, literally, overnight. Largely copying the structure and form of the American Declaration of Independence, its urgency was paramount, because while it was being prepared, the Alamo in San Antonio was under siege by Santa Anna's army of Mexico. Immediately upon the assemblage of the Convention of 1836 on March 1, a committee of five of its delegates were appointed to draft the document. The committee, consisting of George C. Childress, Edward Conrad, James Gaines, Bailey Hardeman, and Collin McKinney, prepared the declaration in record time. It was briefly reviewed, then adopted by the delegates of the convention the following day, and thus began the official separation between Mexico and Texas. You can have your very own copy to proudly display in your home.
