1776 Discussion Questions and Reading Guide

As part of the UT Together: Reading 1776 effort, this page contains a reading guide and discussion questions for the Declaration of Independence and for McCullough's 1776 for use in book clubs, classrooms, or public reading activities, which can be adapted by parents for use at home.

While the book 1776 does not focus specifically on the Declaration of Independence, the battles of 1776—which the book does focus on—brought Americans together, solidifying their determination to be a free and self-governed people.
