What did John Dickinson have to do with the Declaration of Independence?
John Dickinson was one of several delegates from Pennsylvania to the Second Continental Congress during the debate over declaring independence from Great Britain. He was against declaring independence, because he believed that the problems between the colonies and Great Britain could be reconciled and the colonies could remain part of the British empire. He favored remaining part of the empire because the colonies would enjoy continued protection from Great Britain from other colonial powers such as France and Spain. He also believed that the colonies could not possibly win a war against Great Britain with its large army and navy. Even though the Pennsylvania delegation eventually approved the resolution for independence and the Declaration of Independence itself, John Dickinson did not sign it.
